Well, we only create the host when the device is first attached. After that, if it goes away and comes back, we re-connect it to the old SCSI host.
But, while the device is gone, you've created an association between a SCSI
node that exists and a non-existant USB device. Basically, you've got a
pointer that is no longer valid. And when the device is re-attached, there
isn't code to re-establish the correct SCSI<->USB association.
Something like this would proabably make sense if the hot-unplugging code
for SCSI hosts was really stable -- then we could unregister the host when
the device went away, and this relation would be disconnected
automatically.
