Ack. I think it makes sense to wait for the John's patch series
"Add LIBSAS_SHT_BASE for libsas" to get merged first:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20240305122452.340471-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com/T/#t

This way John woudn't need to re-do the patches on top of the moved sht.
Since the LIBSAS_SHT_BASE reduces the line count the following cleanup
patches will have fewer lines changed.
