What's my point? A standard interface for /proc/scsi so that
I could do this without special-case code would be really nice.
It would be even nicer if it were available for the next stable
release, but I'm guessing that might not be an option...

Any opinions or advice?

FYI: Some of the more expensive and featureful host adapters provide their own
mechanisms in firmware to allow the user to control features like
disconnect/reconnect, synchronous, fast, ultra, and wide negotiation, and some
cannot support a /proc/scsi interface for setting these options.
