Is this what we should use to fix the currently broken list traversal[*] in
drivers/scsi/{a2091,gvp11,53c7xx}.c?

Currently ut uses

struct Scsi_Host *instance;
for (instance = first_instance; instance &&
instance->hostt == xxx_template; instance = instance->next)

bust Scsi_Host.next was removed a while ago...
