Make that *a* udev rule, but otherwise this looks good.  With
formatting:

   <section id="scsi-non-deterministic">
     <title>SCSI device probing is non-deterministic</title>
     <para>
       Due to changes in the Linux kernel, the probing of SCSI devices is no
       longer deteministic. This could be an issue for installations that
       rely on the disk probing order. Two possible alternatives using links
       in <filename>/dev/disk/by-path</filename> or a <systemitem
       role="package">udev</systemitem> rule are suggested in
       <ulink url="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/59eedd28-25d4-7899-7c3c-89fe7fdd4b43@acm.org/";>this
       Linux Kernel Mail List post</ulink>.
