Well, I can tell you why I don't see the problem: My parisc system has
modular SCSI, so it doesn't really test out the async system that well
(it was designed more for monolithic kernels).
On the specific patch in the email, it seems reasonable, but I think it
might interfere with the sd probe async calls, so what you might end up
losing a rache where the host fully scanned, but the sd driver not
attached.
The root cause of the problem is that we now have two different async
mechanisms in SCSI: our original one for host scanning and the new one
for sd attachment.
