There are still some other large outstanding issues. For example the
kobject_hotplug function must be called from a process context. I was not
sure if the transport class should provide this, or is it the drivers
responsibilty (some drivers have threads for work already),
or should SCSI ML supply this as it may have to if it is going
to provide events too.
