[SCSI] drivers/base/bus.c - export reprobe
Adding support for exposing hidden raid components for sg interface. The sdev->no_uld_attach flag will set set accordingly. The sas module supports adding/removing raid volumes using online storage management application interface. This patch was provided to me by Christoph Hellwig.
