FYI, I've got a pathcset to eliminate the use of module_refcount in
SCSI, which was a horrible hack to start with, but it needs a little more
clarification / work, so I'd prefer to do it for 3.20.  Bart has a fix
that eliminates it for 3.19, which piles aother bandaid over the bandaid
that introduced the use module_refcount, and James doesn't seem to like
it.
