Dear Erik and Leonard,

I apologize for my previous message - you both were absolutely right and I
was absolutely wrong. Your idea works fine - I just tested it.

Originally, I thought you were suggesting to remove the whole decrement
statement, not just the conditional if().

The *only* part that I suggested for removal was the !scsi_loadable_module_flag
test in that if. The remaining claue should be left in.
