Hmmm.  Would it be easier instead to copy the DMA mapping parameters
from us->pusb_dev->bus->sysdev into the SCSI host's parent before
calling scsi_add_host()?  That way the correct values would be
available from the beginning, so the existing DMA setup would
automatically use the correct sizes.

In fact, the USB core already sets the dma_mask and dma_pfn_offset 
fields for the SCSI host's parent (search for dma_mask in 
drivers/usb/core/message.c).  Is there something else we need to set?
