Hannes Reinecke d630fbf6fc scsi: core: Support allocating a pseudo SCSI device
Allocate a pseudo SCSI device if 'nr_reserved_cmds' has been set. Pseudo
SCSI devices have the SCSI ID <max_id>:U64_MAX so they won't clash with
any devices the LLD might create. Pseudo SCSI devices are excluded from
scanning and will not show up in sysfs. Additionally, pseudo SCSI
devices are skipped by shost_for_each_device(). This prevents that the
SCSI error handler tries to submit a reset to a non-existent logical
unit.

Do not allocate a budget map for pseudo SCSI devices since the
cmd_per_lun limit does not apply to pseudo SCSI devices.

Do not perform queue depth ramp up / ramp down for pseudo SCSI devices.

Pseudo SCSI devices will be used to send internal commands to a storage
device.

[ bvanassche: edited patch description / renamed host_sdev into
  pseudo_sdev / unexported scsi_get_host_dev() / modified error path in
  scsi_get_pseudo_dev() / skip pseudo devices in __scsi_iterate_devices()
  and also when calling sdev_init(), sdev_configure() and sdev_destroy().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
