The rationale is similar to the above mode sense response interception:
this is practically the only channel to communicate restraints from
elsewhere such as host and block driver.
The scsi bus we attach onto can have a larger max xfer len than what is
accepted by the host file system (guarding between the host scsi LUN and
QEMU), in which case the SG_IO we generate would get -EINVAL.
