That list already exists (sortof)  There's a list of drives with whom
drivers should not probe LUNs or attempt tagged queuing.  I messed with it
once to allow queuing on my Jaz drive -- it was blcklisted but works just
fine. (only a few firmware versions have a problem; it's safer to always
say NO!)
