On systems with very large numbers (> 1600 or so) of SCSI devices,
cat /proc/scsi/scsi ends up failing with -ENOMEM. This is due to
the show routine simply iterating over all of the devices with
bus_for_each_dev(), and trying to dump all of them into the buffer
at the same time. On my test system (using scsi_debug with 4064 devices),
the output ends up being ~ 632k, far more than kmalloc will typically allow.
This patch defines its own seq_file opreations to iterate over the scsi
devices.The result is that each show() operation only dumps ~ 180 bytes
into the buffer at a time so we don't run out of memory.
If the "Attached devices" header isn't required, we can dump the
sfile->private bit completely.
