This one was both on lkml and ftp://ftp.XX.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rgooch/v2.4/sdmany-patch-v3.bz2
I have attached this patch because I have rediffed it to apply nicely to 2.4.19-pre1.

+Many SCSI Discs support
+CONFIG_SD_MANY
+ This allows you to support a very large number of SCSI discs
+ (approximately 2080). You will also need to set CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
+ later. This option may consume all unassigned block majors
+ (i.e. those which do not have an allocation in
+ Documentation/devices.txt). Enabling this will consume a few extra
+ kilobytes of kernel memory.
