ok, are you suggesting for FC909 we call scsi_scan_host, else chips we
"hook into transport layer"?

The way I understood from Stephen Shirron, is the FC909 is using mpi
version 1.0, and all the other FC cards are on mpi version 1.2 or 1.5.
The mpi defines the interface between driver and firmware.   The older
mpi version 1.0 is missing feature needed for the FC transport to work.
