Since sysfs now contains a reasonable amount of data about
scsi devices, it is possible to write an application
that scans this information and presents it in a "ls"
form (akin to lspci and lsusb).

Attached is a toy program called lsssci that could
grow into something more useful. It requires lk 2.5.51
or later.

$ lsscsi
[4:0:0:0]  CDROM   CREATIVE CD5233E          1.00  /dev/sr0
[3:0:0:0]  disk    Linux    scsi_debug       0004  /dev/sdb
[2:0:6:0]  tape    SONY     SDT-7000         0192
[0:0:8:0]  disk    FUJITSU  MAM3184MP        0105  /dev/sda


This output corresponds to my system which has these "scsi"
devices:

$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:

sysfs doesn't provide the ANSI SCSI revision number associated
with each device (hopefully Pat can add that in the future).
Otherwise, all the information that /proc/scsi/scsi uses 3
lines per device for, can be compressed onto one line. Putting
the device node (e.g. /dev/sda) seems a useful addition.
[That latter addition is only done currently for block scsi
devices (hence it doesn't appear for the tape).]
