This teaches scsi devices how to support "new style" hotplug/coldplug:
using a modalias sysfs attribute for coldplug, and MODALIAS environment
variable for hotplug.
It also updates the CH, SD, SR, and ST drivers with the aliases needed to
drive them by that mechanism. (Older OnStream devices use OSST not ST;
left for someone else to sort out. SG seems best loaded by KMOD.)
Using this, I've seen pure new-style hotplugging drive the loading of all
the relevant driver modules for usb storage devices: host controller,
usb-storage, scsi core, sd_mod. Previously, sd_mod never loaded. (Except
when using the obsolete old-style hotplug scripts ... which are unusable
on ~100 BogoMIPS embedded systems that only run busybox, but may have no
options for lots of external storage other than USB.) Yep, this is a LOT
faster too.
