Really someone needs slapping across. What kind of code is that
(in 2.5.1-pre6):

drivers/scsi/sd.c:sd_init()

...
The code is buggy. Scenario:

Yes, you are right, the code is buggy.
It looks like part of something I did a few months ago
for 2.4.6 or so. I tend to give the guarantee "correctness
preserved". So, the conclusion must be that before this
change was applied the code had precisely the same bug.
