0) Nobody suggested anything else so maybe I should try to come up with
a patch that does that. A slight problem is that I'm not at all familiar
with the SCSI code. And I don't think I own any actual SCSI hardware.

1) Anyhow: hostadapter flags? Are those perhaps the bitfields starting
with "active_mode" in "struct Scsi_Host"?
