Actually, you have to use sg for a disc as well since you send a scsi CDB
directly to the device for inquiry page 0x83.

Oh no question. The way the current code doing this works is that it opens
all scsi devices and issues a GET_IDLUN to compile a database of the nodes and
then matches them up to sg nodes.
