If the device we open is a SMC or SSC device, then force the use of sg. We
dont have any medium changer or tape emulation so only passthrough via
real sg or scsi-generic via iscsi would work anyway.
Forcing sg also makes qemu skip trying to read from the device to guess
the image format by reading from the device (find_image_format()).
SMC devices do not implement READ6/10/12/16 so it is not possible to
read from them (SSC have different CDBs).
With this patch I can successfully manage a SMC device wiht iscsi in
passthrough mode.
