scsi: docs: introduction: Multiple cleanups
Modify URLs to use https instead of http. Remove ancient URLs that don't work. Change "scsi" in text to "SCSI". Change "cdrom" in text to "CD-ROM". Drop the reference to "autoclean" for modules since I can't find it in any current documentation.

Notes on using modules in the SCSI subsystem

The SCSI support in the Linux kernel can be modularized in a number of

different ways depending upon the needs of the end user. To understand

your options, we should first define a few terms.

|

The scsi-core (also known as the "mid level") contains the core of scsi
|
||||
support. Without it you can do nothing with any of the other scsi drivers.
|
||||
The scsi core support can be a module (scsi_mod.o), or it can be built into
|

the kernel. If the core is a module, it must be the first scsi module

The SCSI core support can be a module (scsi_mod.o), or it can be built into

the kernel. If the core is a module, it must be the first SCSI module

loaded, and if you unload the modules, it will have to be the last one

unloaded. In practice the modprobe and rmmod commands (and "autoclean")

unloaded. In practice the modprobe and rmmod commands

will enforce the correct ordering of loading and unloading modules in

the SCSI subsystem.

The individual upper and lower level drivers can be loaded in any order

once the scsi core is present in the kernel (either compiled in or loaded

as a module). The disk driver (sd_mod.o), cdrom driver (sr_mod.o),
