I built a Yakkety test kernel with commit 9373eba6cfae.  The test kernel
can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1693369/yakkety/

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?  Xenial needs
some prereq commits, so I'm working on identifying them and and should
have that test kernel shortly.

Bug description:
  This is a request to add the following upstream commit to both Ubuntu
  16.04.1 and 16.04.2:

  
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/scsi/ses.c?id=9373eba6cfae48911b977d14323032cd5d161aae

  Without this patch, the symlink in sysfs which binds a SAS device to
  an enclosure slot does not get created. This makes disk hotplug near
  impossible on large JBOD disk drawers.

  You should be able to do:

  ls /sys/block/sdb/device/ | grep enclosure

  and see something like:

  enclosure_device:1

  If you cd to this directory, you can then access the SES controls for
  that slot to flash the LED to assist in locating the disk to replace a
  failed disk.

  Currently with 16.04.1 and 16.04.2, these symlinks are not getting
  created.
