I don't really know, but I have some guesses.

Clearly no device needs enough LUNs, in the original sense of a
per-target unit namespace, to need 64 bits of count.  I have trouble
imagining any that would overrun 16 bits, and few that would overrun 8.
These LUNs are clearly some kind of sparse identifier, not the simple
per-target unit serial number LUNs originally were.  I'm thus not sure
that what the scsipi code calls a LUN is really the right abstraction
to represent them; they feel to me more like unique spindle IDs such as
we're going to want for wedges - I wonder if it might be better to
introduce a mapping layer, so that most of the code uses small integers
for LUNs, mapping between them and the 64-bit sparse values early on
input and late on output.
