We are testing if there is a match with the ses device in a loop
by calling ses_match_to_enclosure(), which will issue scsi receive
diagnostics commands to the ses device for every device on the
same host.
On one of our boxes with 840 disks, it takes a long time to load
the driver:

[root@g1b-oss06 ~]# time modprobe ses

real    40m48.247s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.196s

With the patch:

[root@g1b-oss06 ~]# time modprobe ses

real    0m17.915s
user    0m0.008s
sys     0m0.053s

Note that we still need to refresh page 10 when we see a new disk
to create the link.
