/dev/bsg/0:0:0:0
/dev/bsg/3:0:0:0
/dev/bsg/4:0:0:0
etc

Depending on your shell you may need to escape the ":"
characters (or surround the whole string in quotes).

Also CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG needs to be defined in your kernel
build but as udev needs that, that is probably already the
case.

Looks like you have a SAS expander there as well. It will
have a bsg node name like:
   /dev/bsg/expander-4:0
that my smp_utils package can use. There might also be a
SAS host node like this:
   /dev/bsg/sas_host4
