Yes, it's incorrect ... if you do this, the devices will come up in a
random order for multiple SCSI cards.  One of the original design goals
was not to require udev, so the final ordering should be the same as for
the sync case.

I think the root cause of the problem is somewhere in the fc transport
rport addition code.
