increasing host numbers
It seems as though host numbers are no longer re-used. This pattern started in lk 2.5.73:
# lsscsi [0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda # modprobe scsi_debug # lsscsi [0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda [2:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb # rmmod scsi_debug # modprobe scsi_debug # lsscsi [0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda [3:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb # rmmod scsi_debug # modprobe scsi_debug # lsscsi [0:0:1:0] disk FUJITSU MAM3184MP 0106 /dev/sda [4:0:0:0] disk Linux scsi_debug 0004 /dev/sdb

Is there any danger of 'running out'? i.e is rollover handled properly?
