It is for storage devices which always have guaranteed synchronous
probing on module load and well-defined probing order. Sure, modern
setups are a lot more dynamic but I'm quite certain that there are
setups in the wild which depend on storage driver loading being
synchronous. We can't simply declare one day that such behavior is
broken and break, most likely, their boots.
Thanks.
