ok.

I did have some name changes previous, but pulled them out to reduce
collisions with the patches going on in this area.

Though my below renaming is not consitant with this thought :-).

Well we are registering a driver with the device model scsi_bus (i.e a
driver_register on scsi_bus_type).

Could we agree on terminology now as I believe scsi_register_device is
mis-leading for others reading the scsi code as it is a driver not a
device?
