Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] scsi_dh: Make scsi device handler modules automatically inserted

Hello,

Currently, SCSI targets doesn't have modalias support. It wasn't an issue until SCSI device handler came along.

We want the SCSI device handler modules to be insmodded automatically when the specific SCSI targets are probed and found.

This set of patches adds the modalias support for SCSI targets and also makes the relevant changes to SCSI device handler modules to make use of it.

Applies cleanly on 2.6.29-rc8 and is tested on the same.

Please review and consider this for 2.6.30.

Thanks & Regards,

chandra
