H A Ddasd_eckd.c68d1e5f0 Tue Sep 22 15:58:52 CDT 2009 Stefan Weinhuber <wein@de.ibm.com> [S390] dasd: tolerate devices that have no feature codes

The DASD device driver reads the feature codes of a device during
device initialization. These codes are later used to determine the
availability of advanced features like PAV or High Performance FICON.
Some very old devices do not support the command to read feature
codes and the initialization routine fails.
As the feature codes are not necessary for basic DASD operations, we
can support such devices by just ignoring missing feature codes.
