I'm curious, because a SCSI HBA makes it as hard as it can be to write
unit tests. Pretty much everything you do will test the interactions
between the SCSI devices and the block layer, more than the HBA itself.
This is especially for such a simple HBA; unit testing is much more
"interesting" for something like the LSI device.
So, to test the HBA you need write either a mock SCSI device, or a mock
block device. (I hate mocks). Now that the client is asynchronous, NBD
is a pretty effective way to write a mock block device, though not the
simplest.
