Request for exporting device_reprobe -
This is scsi wrapper portion.
---------------------------------------------------
Adding support for exposing hidden raid components
for sg interface. The sdev->no_uld_attach flag
will set set accordingly.
The sas module supports adding/removing raid
volumes using online storage management application
interface.
This patch was provided to me by Christoph Hellwig.

We don't want SCSI LLDDs to know about implementations details like
sdev->sdev_gendev. Of course an inline or a macro could do this aswell.

this looks like a good candidate for an inline yes ;)
