The problem is that the SCSI stack does not send this command, so we

No, you should absolutely no do it in the driver.  The fact that
virtio-scsi even tries to do some of its own LUN scanning is
problematic and should have never happened.

I agree that it should not do it for hot-unplug. However, for hot-plug the spec says that a hotplug event for LUN 0 represents the addition of an entire target, so why is it incorrect to start a REPORT LUNS scan if the host doesn't tell you the exact LUN(s) that have been added?

There is a similar case in mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c, though it's only scanning for newly added devices after a controller reset.
