How about removing scsi_proc_hostdir_add(), scsi_proc_hostdir_rm() and 
all other code that creates files or directories under /proc/scsi? There 
should be corresponding entries in sysfs for all /proc/scsi entries. 
Some tools in sg3_utils use that directory so sg3_utils will have to be 
updated.

Thanks,

Bart.
