Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "Two current fixes:

   - one affects Qemu CD ROM emulation, which stopped working after the
     updates in SCSI to require VPD pages from all conformant devices.

     Fix temporarily by blacklisting Qemu (we can relax later when they
     come into compliance).

   - The other is a fix to the optimal transfer size.  We set up a
     minefield for ourselves by being confused about whether the limits
     are in bytes or sectors (SCSI optimal is in blocks and the queue
     parameter is in bytes).

     This tries to fix the problem (wrong setting for queue limits
     max_sectors) and make the problem more obvious by introducing a
     wrapper function"
