Are they really relevant any more? Even the oldest box I could find
(SuSE system from 1997, kernel 2.0.3x) had only /dev/sg0...7 and no
/dev/sga etc. I remember that some systems had symlinks sga --> sg0
but how old are the real sga devices? Newer then /proc/scsi/scsi?

Aren't those only used on *BSD? As we are talking about kernel modules
and /proc/scsi/scsi this looks pretty Linux-only for me.

But in principle I'm not against using a list.
