drivers/scsi/scsi.c ?
The main purpose of it is just adding error messages to dmesg, like this one

kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

I saw this on most ide-based boxes.
The reason is that scsi subsystem starts before mounting
root FS, so where we can get modules.conf and insmod ?

Consider IDE systems with SCSI peripherals and SCSI built modular.

In my opinion the best solution is to surround
request_module("scsi_hostadapter");
with
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_MODULE
in addition to CONFIG_KMOD

Agree?

There already exists a solution, which is to alias scsi_hostadapter to
off.

Ok, I have IDE box with scsi built in (not module), many people have such 
boxes,
I have alias scsi_hostadapter off, and I _have_ this annoying pseudo-error 
message.
(As I've said scsi starts before we can access modules.conf)

My solution is better. It is tested. Works perfect. All happy.
Please apply.
