The exposed implementation might not have, but atleast 3 times now, since
the driver model started being used, I've had to change the way I use the
exposed implementation in order to get bean counting right with the device
and host devices.

Prior, we were using one scsi host per ieee1394 host, with each sbp2
device being one device and even supporting real LUN's to make things as
close to looking like a real scsi host as possible.

Had to ditch all that and do one-host-per-device like USB does in order
save myself all the headache involved. This kind of sucks because the
plug/unplug can quickly increment the scsi-host counter to a point where
things like cdrecord don't work with firewire cd/dvd/rw devices anymore
(until a reboot or the scsi module is removed/inserted). But that's a
whole different issue :)
