This is a dangerous operation in that the block size is not
protected by a lock, but it can be written concurrently if
you have a multi-queue virtio-scsi HBA.  Put it behind a quirk
that is only enabled by the Q800 machine, since the MODE
SELECT feature was added for A/UX.

size", 2022-07-13)

Apologies for this, I really didn't expect this to cause a problem with multi-queue virtio-scsi. The fix looks good to me.

FWIW early SPARC Solaris also requires this if using a ROM from a real machine and booting from CDROM: OpenBIOS has a few hacks in place that allow this to work (for now).


ATB,

Mark.
