At least for the attaching part there is support for that already in the
current kernels.
Just do a :
echo "scsi scan-single-device a b d e" > /proc/scsi/scsi
where a == hostadapter id
b == SCSI channel on hostadapter
c == ID
d == LUN
I didn't properly finish the other half (removing a device) yet.
