I've taken a quick look at fusion in that respect. I think the cleanest
thing would be to add "virtual" scsi_device structures for raid physical
disks, and set the BLIST_NO_ULD_ATTACH flag so we don't get the disk
driver to attach to it. This would have the added benefit of beeing
able to use the SG_IO passthrough interface even for physical disk in
a raid volume. To make this work we'd obviously have to add some code
to ->queuecommand to handle this special case.
I think all the other questions have been answered already.
