In dc395x, eata_pio, in2000, lpfc, megaraid_legacy, megaraid_mbox,
megaraid_sas, mesh, ncr53c8xx, qla1280, qla4xxx, wd33c93 and i2o_scsi
use it in printks only, and all this can be safely removed.

Except for EH that only leaves dpt_i2o, eata, mpt2sas, u14-34f, mptscsi
as non-trivial users. If you sort out the EH side I'll volunteer to
kill the printks and add private serial numbers to the five drivers
mentioned above.
