I don't see how this can be. In scan_scsis() scsi_result0[256] is
declared, and if that isn't appropriate for host needing DMA then
we kmalloc(512, GFP_DMA) - either way it doesn't matter since the
allocation length field in the CCB for INQUIRY is only a byte (and
we set it to 255). Even scsi_wait_req() is told the the result buffer
length is 255 when the INQUIRY command is lodged.

The draft of SCSI-2 spec I have here hints that INQUIRY should be used
to probe system configuration and that TEST_UNIT_READY is more for
polling on devices with removable media. I tossed the TEST_UNIT_READY
part out and INQUIRY alone works fine (one disk, 2 CDs and a tape on
a BusLogic clone - all found as per usual).
