Description of problem:
The following hunk from SOURCES/linux-2.6.0-compile.patch causes a 
huge number (thousands depending on number of disks in the system, 
repeatedly over time) of messages to be spewn to the console by tools 
such as Dell OpenManage Storage Administrator due to its (ab)use 
of /dev/sg to detect devices.  Please remove this hunk, it's also not 
included upstream, or re-architect it to spew far less often (once 
per open is still way too often for the same app).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.8-1.624.src.rpm

How reproducible:
always by any app (such as ploink.c given to Doug Ledford to debug a 
RHEL3 SCSI race condition between various actions (add/remove/open) 
on SCSI devices.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run something that opens /dev/sg* repeatedly
2. 
3.
  
Actual results:
kernel spews to the console

Expected results:
kernel warns once or occasionally at KERN_DEBUG level, not constantly 
due to app constantly calling open(/dev/sg).
