All devices (i.e. logical units) have a 4 element tuple
associated with them and the first element is the host
number. A HBA contains one or more hosts. Then you can
datamine in /sys/class/scsi_host/host<n> for whatever
information you want.

May I suggest lsscsi. That won't help you in the lk 2.4
series and earlier though There are other methods by
which the sg device corresponding to a "non-sg" block
device (e.g. /dev/sdc) can be found.
