Maybe I was wrong...
Given that some messages are printing the pci bus id (the ones like
above in qla4xxx_mem_alloc using ql4_printk), and other messages are
printing the host number (the ones using printk with "scsi%ld" coded in
them) maybe this means....

And maybe we need a shost_printk to go along with the sdev and starget
printks, so drivers do not end up printing different prefixes for the
same objects like is happening with qla4xxx.
