I had thought that all drivers which didn't call scsi_scan_host() called scsi_scan_target(). Some, such as sbp2, mptsas and libata-scsi, call scsi_add_device() or __scsi_add_device(). We just need to wait for the currently executing async scans to complete first. This is the same code that's in scsi_scan_target(), except that we have to return an error instead of void when we're declining to scan at all.
