The psuedo-passthrough mode for the 'non-raid' channel must not like how
our SCSI layer is performing it's probe.  I put 'non-raid' in quotes
because it is evident from the camcontrol output that the asr hardware
is controlling both channels.  I'll have to take a look at this when I
have more time.  But for now, I don't have any suggestions.
