It's not entirely clear that this is actually what's happening, and this
isn't entirely the correct approach. We should probably lie about
anything that might be an enclosure, such that it looks like it never
actually responded in the first place.
Regrettably, the Mylex firmware doesn't tell us about enclosures that
it's talking to, which is the real problem here.

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
