Subject: [PATCH] fastboot: make scsi probes asynchronous

This patch makes part of the scsi probe (which is mostly device spin up and the
partition scan) asynchronous. Only the part that runs after getting the device
number allocated is asynchronous, ensuring that device numbering remains stable.
..

Will this burn up the PSUs in loaded server boxes,
due to all drives spinning-up simultaneously now?

Just curious.
