Log messages that associate one entity with another can be generated 
whenever such an association comes into existence, which is probably when 
devices get probed.

E.g. a host:channel:target:lun identifier gets associated with a block 
device name by the dev_printk() calls in sd_probe():

[    3.600000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

BTW, if you think of {"0:0:0:0","sda"} as a row in some normalized table 
and squint a bit, this problem is not unlike the replication of database 
tables over a message queue.
