In the ongoing audit/cleanup of non-modular code needlessly using modular
infrastructure, the SCSI subsystem fortunately only contains two instances
that I detected. Both are for legacy drivers that predate the git epoch,
so cleary there is no demand for converting these drivers to be tristate.
For anyone new to the underlying goal of this cleanup, we are trying to
not use module support for code that isn't buildable as a module since:
(1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
(2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
(3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
includes nearly everything else, thus adding to CPP overhead.
(4) it gets copied/replicated into other code and spreads like weeds.
Build tested for mips (jazz) and m68k (sun3x) on 4.6-rc1 to ensure no
silly typos crept in.
