2022-08-12Prepare for removing /proc/scsi from the Linux kernelDouglas Gilbert
From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> The sg3_utils package is the only /proc/scsi user I know of. Although support for systems without /proc/scsi was added to rescan_scsi_bus.sh more than ten years ago, a few references to /proc/scsi remain. Convert these references into the recommended interfaces.
