I think that is a good solution if it works, but look out: we need to
synchronize across *all* domains, not just the default one. The sd.c
code, for example, uses its own "scsi_sd_probe_domain" for example,
and we *do* want to synchronize with it.
Can you do that with your suggested interface (ie it would have to be
a *global* sequence number).
