Background scan of sata drives

I seem to recall seeing mention flow by on the lkml at some point thatsata disks are now scanned in the background rather than blocking in themodprobe, but that there is a new dummy module you can load that justblocks until all drives have been scanned. I tried but was unable tofind the thread that mentioned this, so does anyone know what thatmodule was?
