When scanning hosts that implement FC rport support and open-iscsi/linux-iscsi-5 hosts from userspace the sysfs layout will end up placing the target's parent as the host instead of some transport specific object. For FC the target's parent should be the rport and for open-iscsi the parent should be a session (that is if for open-iscsi our using struct devices and our sysfs layout is correct). The problem is due to the scsi host scan attribute calling scsi_scan_host_selected, but the transports calling scsi_scan_target. To further complicate matters iscsi does not use a work queue for scanning since it initiates the scanning from usersapce and it manages its channel and target numbers from userspace. And, FC rport support is the opposite. To fix this the inlined patch just adds a scan callout onto the scsi_transport_template so scsi_sysfs can call it if set.
