One point with the interface - can we have a bit higher level interface
based on what has happened to the adapter, so that if scsi wants to behave
differently in the future the interface need not change?

That is, have an exported scsi_host_removed(struct scsi_host *shost) versus
a scsi_set_device_offline(struct scsi_device *sdev)?

scsi_host_removed can offline all sdev's etc. for now, and if we ever want
to change data structure layouts or the behaviour in the future (i.e. allow
surprise removal/replacement of the same storage without forcing removal
of a scsi_device) the interface need not change.
