just to be devils advocate...
it should be a read that returns when done,

Heh, yeah. We just need to trigger that scsi_complete_async_scans()
after all ... might as well abuse all intuition on the user's behalf :-)

and that can be polled

Gaah! :-)

But seriously, though, this sysfs attribute can be implemented
_any which way_. Better for us if we do it the simplest way (and which
taxes the user's intuition the least). Just that Matthew asked so many
questions so I thought I might as well answer them :-)
