In theory we have ->name for that, but people have decided to put really verbose stuff in there. A module name is important, not just for scsi. James once had a proposal where the scsi_host can link to the module in sysfs, which is the right thing and needed for other things like mkinitrd aswell. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
