Ugh... updated branch to include scsi

The upside is that from what I've seen across 4 systems (Alienware M15x, Lenovo E320, Lenovo x201 and Lenovo S10) the SATA hard disks appear on the ata bus, not SCSI, and that should hold true for all desktops with SATA drives as well. There's a risk that this could pick up SAS disks, however, it's doubtful we'll be certifying or testing a desktop or laptop with a SAS disk in it, for the same reasons you really never saw desktops or laptops with SCSI disks (or very rarely saw anyway).

The downside is that we DO run the risk of having a test that accidentally hits all disks.

I don't think that's "terribly" likely, but it is a possibility that needs to be considered.

The insert/remove scripts look for specific insertion/remove events, so they should not be impacted by the presense of other devices on those buses. The removable_storage_test tests. however, could possibly run against other devices if, say, a system that has a MMC Reader on the USB bus has both an MMC card and a USB Key plugged in. This COULD definitely happen when people are running from live iso on USB. I just don't know of any way around this, nor have I been able to find one.
