That is 6 (not 38) by my count.

Hi Doug,

This is the command I ran:

$ git grep /proc/scsi | wc -l
38

I think your query excludes scripts/rescan-scsi-bus.sh.

As mentioned, rescan-scsi-bus.sh is keeping references to /proc/scsi as
a fall back only, as it's meant to work kernel independent. Per default
it'll be using /sys, and will happily work without /proc/scsi.

So it's really only /proc/scsi/sg which carries some meaningful
information; maybe we should move/copy it to somewhere else.

I personally like getting rid of /proc/scsi.

/proc/scsi/device_info doesn't seem to be in sysfs.

Could the contents of /proc/scsi/sg/* be placed in
/sys/class/scsi_generic/* ? Currently that directory only has symlinks
to the sg devices.
