It isn't clear to me that's the intended use of include/scsi.  If it is,
it's already being violated, eg by

$ find * -type f |xargs grep scsi_host_scan_allowed
drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:       if (scsi_host_scan_allowed(shost))
drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:       if (scsi_host_scan_allowed(shost))
drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:       if (scsi_host_scan_allowed(shost)) {
drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:       if (!scsi_host_scan_allowed(shost))
include/scsi/scsi_host.h: * scsi_host_scan_allowed - Is scanning of this
host allowed
include/scsi/scsi_host.h:static inline int scsi_host_scan_allowed(struct
Scsi_Host *shost)

(a good candidate to be moved to scsi_scan.c, in fact!)

scsi_host_state_name, scsi_normalize_sense, scsi_reset_provider,
scsi_test_unit_ready, scsi_put_command are all in similar usage to
scsi_schedule_eh.  There's probably more, I just picked some likely
looking candidates.
