You patch will call scsi_add_device, from low to hi target ids, right? Well if someone creates a volume that
is issued target id=8, installs the operating system.
Then tommorrow they create a new volume that is issued
target id=7, then what your patch will do is reverse
the order, right?  If so, a panic would occur
unless they assigned device names/lables.

Yes, if the order of VolumeIDs assigned by the firmware is indeed random. That's not what was observed in our test lab, though.

Anyway, I'll just advise people to use persistent device names, thank you.
