I think the point is being missed here. The issue is not so much
the namespace that is used, but how to map minor numbers to real devices.
While it would be nice to be able to fix this just for the sg driver,
I would prefer a more generic solution that works for all scsi devices
(disks, cdroms, etc), since the same problems occur there too.
