I might be dead wrong here, but I think the different *types* of SCSI
devices are compiled statically in the kernel, and not intended to be
unloaded.  See the kernel options 'da', 'cd', 'pass' et al.

What I mean is that what you are trying to do might not be even possible,
at least with the current state of the CAM code.  And of course, I may
have completely misunderstood what you are trying to do :)

G'luck,
Peter
