I disagree that Grant's patch is fine.  Consider:

 - CONFIG_SCSI=y
 - CONFIG_SCSI_SYM2=y
 - CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XYZ=m

You want the root disc on your sym2 to be found, so you need
SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=y, but you also want to know when qla2xyz has finished
scanning the fabric, so you need SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m.  My patch doesn't
have this problem.
