Hi,
I wasted half a day on this, thinking it was something in my 4.10
branches. But it turns out it is not, the regression is in mainline.
Looking at the recent fixes, turns out to be this one:
commit 1e793f6fc0db920400574211c48f9157a37e3945

scsi: megaraid_sas: Fix data integrity failure for JBOD
(passthrough) devices
If I revert that, box boots fine again. The effect of the regression is
that my box detects tons of SCSI devices (literally, thousands):

where a normal boots just detects sda and the CD-ROM:
