SCSI has added newer interfaces for host drivers to use that allow
single adds and removes. The api document is located in
/Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt. I believe it is fairly
current.

I have been using the scsi_debug driver (which uses the newer interface)
to add and remove pseudo adapters, but have not checked the results
through user space hotplug.
