Hey Hannes,

Just a heads up, I noticed that the latest v2 megasas w/ scsi-generic ->
TCM_loop appears to be broken on a Windows7 (Build 7600) guest, which
hangs during boot -> LUN scan with the following:

truelife:/usr/src/qemu-kvm.git# ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 
-boot c ~/windows7.img \
                -drive if=none,id=mydisk1,file=/dev/sg4 -device megasas,id=raid
                -device scsi-generic,bus=raid.0,scsi-id=1,drive=mydisk1

Oddly enough, after trying a number of older megasas versions with this
particular Windows 7 guest w/ scsi-generic -> TCM_Loop, the last version
that I can find which is still working is this branch from May, on what
is effectively v1.0 megasas code.

Anyways, I have not had a chance to track this down myself and wanted
to see if you had any ideas..
