The original design purpose of include/scsi/scsi.h versus
drivers/scsi/scsi.h was to have constants that are meaningful
in user space (such as constants defined in the SCSI standard)
in <scsi/scsi.h>, while kernel-internal stuff lived in
drivers/scsi/scsi.h.

Thus, I do not see this move as an improvement.
