Known t10.org issue, off topic for t13.org.

Contrast SPC with MMC re op x12 Inquiry at http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm

SPC has a fix for this on paper, in byte 2.

MMC broke that fix.

SPC added a second fix for this on paper, out at the end of defined
data.

MMC still doesn't care.

In real life, no op x12 Inquiry other than -i x24 -y "12 00:00:00 24 00"
works, anyhow, because no other host is massively distributed.  That
limitation matters because that form of Inquiry defeats the SPC fix.
