Subject: [PATCH] Allow SCSI_WAIT_SCAN to be deselected
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:11:12 +0100

This patch adds a proper help for SCSI_WAIT_SCAN and allows the module to be
deselected. I see no reason to force it being build. It also makes it
impossible to compile-in the module.

+      This is a simple module to wait until all the async scans are
+      complete.  The idea is to use it in initrd/initramfs scripts.  You
