[PATCH] LUN reporting back 'Not Ready -Manual intervention requir ed'

I would like to request that the enclosed patch be considered for inclusion
into the core kernel.  Currently, there is a 100 second delay required when
a TUR returns 'Logical Unit Not Ready - Manual Intervention Required' status
on a passive SCSI device.  This is the case on EMC CLARiiON arrays.  
Are there objections with the patch below as it skips the spin-up time?
Thanks for your consideration.
Heather
