This is not described in RFC7144. The sense described above
aims to tell that a dummy lun is useful.

In my opinion, if the addressed lun still response the
inquiry and other commands, we should not skip it,
maybe let the scsi drivers like sd/st/sg to determine
how to handle this lun accordint to the PQ value.

As discussed in following mail, another drivers would
be broken too.

The key point of my patch is to add one way to map
dummy lun to an sg device.
