So, if now (before this patch) you build a monolithic kernel, scsi_wait_scan will be built in, scsi_complete_async_scans() will be called at late_initcall time, but it will be redundant because > In > a monolithic kernel, this is done by the async scan infrastructure so, it will just have no effect, right? If so, then, of course it only makes sense as a module.
