The guest kernel is able to detect the disk if lun is always 0, while target
number is changed:

-device scsi-hd,drive=drive0,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0
-device scsi-hd,drive=drive1,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=1,lun=0

If device with LUN != 0 will not be exposed, why not set max_lun = 0 as what
qemu lsi is doing?
