I am not sure if this is exactly what you want but you can unbind a
device from the sd driver today.

E.x.

# cd /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/sd
# ls
0:0:0:0  4:0:0:0  4:0:1:0  5:0:0:0  5:0:1:0  bind  unbind
# sg_map
/dev/sg0  /dev/sda
/dev/sg1  /dev/sdb
/dev/sg2  /dev/sdc
/dev/sg3  /dev/sdd
/dev/sg4  /dev/sde
# echo "5:0:1:0" > unbind
# ls
0:0:0:0  4:0:0:0  4:0:1:0  5:0:0:0  bind  unbind
# sg_map
/dev/sg0  /dev/sda
/dev/sg1  /dev/sdb
/dev/sg2  /dev/sdc
/dev/sg3  /dev/sdd
/dev/sg4
