Hubs are irrelevant here, the key functionality is noticing
hardware addition/disconnect. Parts of it can be done in bus
adapter code, parts of it can't. SCSI probes LUNS in much
the same way khubd probes hub ports, and as I recall most of
that logic isn't any more specific to the adapter than virtual
root hub code is for USB.

Erm ... which of the three SCSI layers are you talking about? I was
talking about the highest level, which is precisely the layer I think
has been identified as already needing to know when to shut down the
I/O queues (sd_mod and friends).
