I don't think a transport class makes sense here. A struct device or a class_interface as suggested by James sound much better. But even then unless we solve the request_module from async context problem we can't reliably load them as soon as we encounter the first ALUA/RDAC/EMC/HP device, so distribution would probably still need to pre-load them. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
