Look at section 4.7 of SAM-5.  Most of it is useless, because the last
six bytes are almost never used.  Still, what matters for QEMU is 4.7.5
Single level LUN structure, 4.7.7 Peripheral device addressing method,
4.7.8 Flat space addressing method.

In particular, you can see the reference to four two-byte fields in
Table 11 — "Single level LUN structure using peripheral device
addressing method" and Table 12 — "Single level LUN structure using flat
space addressing method".

No, that's wrong.  Each LUN returned by REPORT LUNS is always 8 bytes.
The field tells you if you are reporting all LUNs, only well-known LUNs,
etc.
