I'm not so sure about that.

The bug report talks about lsilogic and virtio-scsi.

lsilogic was already disabled by default before this patch.

virtio-scsi support is included and there are no plans to change
that because it is a rather essential driver.  It works just fine
upstream, and there isn't even a config switch to disable it.

take care,
  Gerd
