During test of Xen pvSCSI frontend module I found the following issue:
When unplugging a passed-through SCSI-device the SCSI Host is removed.
When calling the final scsi_host_put() from the driver an Oops is
happening:

I should mention I've specified .cmd_len in the scsi_host_template. The
only other driver doing this seems to be virtio_scsi.c, so I assume the
same problem could occur with passed-through SCSI devices under KVM...
