I believe this has been mentioned before too but, yes, SCSI device
probing is asynchronous and parallelized but the registration of the
discovered devices are fully serialized according to driver attach
order.  Storage devices are probed in parallel and attached in a fully
deterministic order.  That part has never changed.

Thanks.
