We could put the routines in a dummy backend "sane-load-scsi"
that does nothing than touching a /dev/sg* device until
it was able to open one. This device should be listed as last
backend (if I remember right the list is called backwards).
This way it would be simple to disable it and it is called only once
when a frontend is opened.
(It also could be included in sane-dll).
