It seems as though host numbers are no longer re-used.
This pattern started in lk 2.5.73:
# lsscsi
[0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda
# modprobe scsi_debug
# lsscsi
[0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda
[2:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb
# rmmod scsi_debug
# modprobe scsi_debug
# lsscsi
[0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda
[3:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb
# rmmod scsi_debug
# modprobe scsi_debug
# lsscsi
[0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda
[4:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb
Feature?

So far this was intentional, so I'd call it a feature. If you think
this is not good we can add some kind of bitmap to get free host number.

Is there any danger of 'running out'? i.e is rollover handled properly?
