The log information is not helpful without the information to correlate

Log messages that associate one entity with another can be generated 
whenever such an association comes into existence, which is probably when 
devices get probed.

E.g. a host:channel:target:lun identifier gets associated with a block 
device name by the dev_printk() calls in sd_probe():

[    3.600000] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

BTW, if you think of {"0:0:0:0","sda"} as a row in some normalized table 
and squint a bit, this problem is not unlike the replication of database 
tables over a message queue.
