This seems to be in now. I'll also send you another update
once the header reorgansization is finished.

I though about this already but maybe the cleaner interface
would be to remove the call to scsi_scan_host from scsi_add_host
and let drivers that want it do it themselves. (and the same
for scsi_forget_host in scsi_remove_host)
