This function will be needed by the upcoming passthru code.

Passthru will need an emulated version of identify_desclist which
copies the eui64, uuid and nguid from the passed-thru controller into
the request SGL.

I don't like the way this is handled.  We should avoid faking up
behavior not supported if this really is a passthrough interface.

For this particular case this means:

 1) report the vs field that the actual controller reports
 2) if that is below 1.2.1 bump it to that, but no further
    (and maybe print a warning)
 3) don't emulate the namespace descriptor CNS ever
