In the long run it should also replace ->slave_configure entirely as
there is no need to have two different methods here, and the slave
name in addition to being politically charged also has no basis in
the SCSI standards or the kernel code.

There are two methods with names that are politically charged:
slave_configure() and slave_alloc(). Shouldn't both be renamed?

  	int (* slave_configure)(struct scsi_device *);

The name "device_configure" may make people wonder whether that method
perhaps configures a struct device instance. How about using the name
"sdev_configure" instead of "device_configure" to make it more clear
that this method is used to configure a SCSI device?

Thanks,

Bart.
