From: Ewan D. Milne <[email protected]> scsi: sd: Add "probe_type" module parameter to allow synchronous probing
Setting probe_type="sync" will force synchronous probing in the driver core, which forces the ordering of minor device number assignments when SCSI disk devices are probed, for compatibility with prior versions of RHEL.
