I guess it's caused by: [SCSI] add scsi_host and scsi_target to scsi_bus This patch implements scsi_host and scsi_target device types and adds both to the scsi_bus. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b0ed43360fdca227048d88a08290365cb681c1a8 and not by the re-parenting, so it should be limited to SCSI, right?
