   Actually, there is something you can do. Start using devfs. Then
   the devices won't change unless you reorder the SCSI controllers
   themselves (as opposed to just detaching/attaching new SCSI devices
   to them).

I have a feeling Linus won't ever put this in for the 2.2.x stable
series and defer it to 2.3.x development kernels.

So what we will be able to offer users by default will not have this
functionality, they'll have to obtain it as a seperate kernel patch.
