It would be great if it would be possible to convert scsi_lib_test.c
into a kernel module without exporting the functions that are being
tested. Exporting functions from scsi_lib.c only because these are
called from code in scsi_lib_test.c is not desired. More tests may be
added in the future into scsi_lib_test.c. If that would result in
exporting every static scsi_lib.c function that would make the SCSI core
harder to maintain than necessary.

Thanks,

Bart.
