Have you heard about devfs? It allows device drivers to register
device entries which will automagically appear in /dev. It supports
the old-style names "/dev/sg0" as well as the new-style names
"/dev/sg/c0b0t0u0" (controller, bus, target, unit).
It's not just for SCSI: it's for *all* devices. It's been around for a
year now.
