Why do you need to know that anyway ? While this is true in the lk 2.2 series and earlier, Torben Mathiasen re-arranged things in the lk 2.4 series so drivers/scsi/hosts.c no longer determines the initialization order of built in hosts. I think it is now the link order, determined by the positioning in drivers/scsi/Makefile, that is pivotal. Most adapter drivers contain the following (slightly misleading) line: #include "scsi_module.c" and the 'static int __init init_this_scsi_driver()' does the initialization. So it is the ordering the kernel uses to execute its various "__init" functions that counts (and I am assuming that is related to the link order). The "scsihosts" kernel boot time option does _not_ change the order of built in driver initializations. It changes the host numbers.
