Re: [RFC] FC transport: Disable LUN scanning from low level driver

[James Smart <James.Smart@Emulex.Com>]

Nit (but preferred) : change "no_target_scan" to "disable_target_scan".
Otherwise, patch is good.

1 to disable. Avoid changing the drivers...

Yep.  However, I don't agree with Hannes in this case.  Given that the
firmware is already doing funky things to share the real adapter, I
believe it (or the driver) should do the right thing in the LUN
presentation to keep the system happy. But - I guess that's something
for a different time.
