After discussing it with Charles, and checking the spec again, we didn't 
see any reason _not_ to allow it to be set on SCSI-2 devices.  The spec 
clearly states that it's allowed (albeit discouraged).  Also, in every 
SCSI-2 draft I've ever seen, the LUN is clearly marked in the CDB, 
further indicating to me SCSI-2 devices don't mind if it's there.

The only mention of those bits being reserved is in the section that says 
those bits may be reclaimed by SCSI-3.

If there's a compelling reason to _not_ set those bits in the case of a 
SCSI-2 device, I'll change it.  However, everthing thing I've seen 
indicates that it's completely benign.
