Hmm. I copied the code from the (renamed) scsi_evt_emit() which had
char *envp[3], but you are right, only 2 entries are needed. As far
as the const attribute goes, the signature of kobject_uevent_env() in
include/linux/kobject.h doesn't have the const attribute on the envp
parameter, and other callers don't use const.

No particular reason, again the code was copied from the (renamed)
sdev_evt_thread().

I think the call to schedule_work() can be moved outside, the lock, I'll
have to verify that.

Same answer: the code came from scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext().
I see that James would prefer that the events be unified rather than
specific to scsi_device or scsi_target, so I'll remove the duplication.
Thanks for the comments.
