Thing is I'm currently working on implementing proper Unit Attention handling in the SCSI stack. For this I would need to have some field off the scsi_device structure into which I can store information about which events / event types are supported and which are activated. So the existing bitmap approach with 'supported_events' would quite a good starting point here, and it will even be useful to add another one, eg 'enabled_events'. And, of course, plan is to route appropriate events over to the block workqueue by calling disk_check_events(). Unless you have other ideas/plans here ...
