The SCSI driver doesn't expose to what backend it is attached to.

You could query autoconfig using 'drvctl' to find out about the
device hierarchy, but that obviously relies on driver internals
that may change.

I wonder why smartmontools even needs to know wether the SCSI device
is umass or something else ? Any information about the disk should
be accessible by SCSI commands.
