This looks good, but I want Arjan and others who invented the async code
to speed up boot to comment on all of this.  What was the intention of
async_synchronize_full() and if it wasn't to synchronise all domains,
should we fix the documentation and add a new primitive to do that,
since boot clearly assumes the all domains behaviour.

In the mean time, this is probably all a bit much for a merge window, so
I'll revert

    [SCSI] sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain

And we'll put whatever is chosen in early for the next merge window.
