It would be nice if people would comment on "ridiculous interface"s when they're asked for feedback, instead of waiting more than two years.
I think you're misunderstanding how to use scsi_wait_scan. The idea was that the bit of userspace that probes all the device drivers would do:
modprobe fusion.ko modprobe aic79xx.ko modprobe sym53c8xx.ko modprobe scsi_wait_scan rmmod scsi_wait_scan
et voila, you're done. It seems like you want random other bits of userspace to wait for scsi scanning to be done, and that wasn't the original intent.
I suppose we could add Yet Another Damn Sysfs File, say /sys/bus/scsi/wait_scan
