Add a hack to cam that makes the cam_xpt available to the rest of the
kernel. Justin agress that there is no other reasonable alternative to
do automatic rescans on connect.

The problem is that when a new device attaches to a SIM (SCSI host
controller) we need to send a XPT_SCAN_BUS command to the SIM using
xpt_action. This requires however that there is a peripheral available
to take the command (otherwise xpt_done and later bomb). The RESCAN
ioctl uses the same periph.

This enables a USB mass storage drive to do an automatic rescan on
connection of the drive.

The automatic dropping of a CAM entry on disconnection was already
working (asynchronous event).

The next thing to do is find someone to commit a change to vpo to do the
same thing. Just port umass_cam_rescan and friends across to that
driver.
