Yes, the inquiry scanning is being called too early ... largely so
BLIST_ROM can work, I suppose.

Er, if it's really a CD-ROM, doesn't it need a blacklist entry with
BLIST_ROM then?  Regardless, MMC is the only standard that seems to be
inconsistent in this regard.  Anything claiming to conform to SBC will
need to be explicitly blacklisted if it claims SCSI-3 or higher and
doesn't support REPORT LUNS.

Does the attached patch fare better?
