This series includes the following improvements to the SCSI subsystem: 1) introduction of SCSIBusOps that generalize the existing command_complete callback;
2) widespread use of the SCSIRequest abstraction, with simpler memory management (refcounting) and with various common idioms converted into simple C functions instead of duplicating them all over the place; 3) support for autosense. Some patches are from Hannes Reinecke's megasas patchset posted last November, forward ported and applied to the new vSCSI controller as well. Testing: - RHEL6.1 install complete to scsi-disk with lsi, from scsi-generic CD - iozone run with lsi on scsi-disk target - RHEL6.1 install to usb-msd from IDE CD hangs (probably) when formatting the USB disk, gets I/O errors even earlier without the series - RHEL6.1 install started with vscsi, from scsi-generic CD including playing with opening/closing the tray (to exercise autosense), plan to do a complete test later if no one beats me to it esp is only compile tested.
