Okay, here is what I tested:
(o) ide-scsi and scsi compiled as modules -- works
(o) ide-scsi and scsi compiled into the kernel -- works
(o) ide-scsi compiled as a module and scsi compiled in -- works
(o) ide-scsi compiled in and scsi compiled as a module -- config refuses
(o) usb-storage and scsi compiled as modules -- works
(o) usb-storage compiled as module and scsi compiled in -- works
So, for all my test cases, this works just fine.
I can't get usb-storage and scsi compiled in because the scsi code
implicity assumes that, if you used the module registration hooks, the
host template field module points to __this_module. It looks like there
are only one or two places where this would need to be checked/changed to
work. However, once those were done, I would expect that we could compile
usb-storage and scsi into the kernel and have it work.
So, in short, I would apply this patch. I would also look into explicitly
checking the module field -- if it is NULL, then don't try to increase or
decrease the usage count, etc.
