The Nth difinitive answer :-)

I prefer the 'h' since the rest of the kernel refers to 'hosts'

In fact, I believe that:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
as reported by the scsi system should match the naming scheme. So it should
report 'Target:' not 'Id' and Unit: not Lun.

It would be nice to be able to look at the probed devices and translate to
device names VERY easily. We already have at least 2 alternatives for every
letter out of those 5. We should make the kernel consistent.
