[RFC: 2.6 patch] remove the broken SCSI_ACORNSCSI_3 driver

The SCSI_ACORNSCSI_3 driver: - has been marked as BROKEN for more than one year and - is still marked as BROKEN. Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future. But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is stil

[PATCH] qla2xxx: fix RSCN handling on big-endian systems

qla2xxx driver fails to handle RSCN events affecting area or domain due to an endian issue on big endian systems. This fixes the port_id_t structure on big endian systems. Signed-off-by: Malahal Naineni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> diff -r c860739bb0f4 drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h --- a/drivers/scsi/ql

[PATCH 2/3] powerpc: Add powerpc PCI-E reset API implementation

Adds the pSeries platform implementation for a new PCI API which can be used to issue various types of PCI-E reset, including PCI-E warm reset and PCI-E hot reset. This is needed for an ipr PCI-E adapter which does not properly implement BIST. Running BIST on this adapter results in PCI-E errors.

[PATCH 3/3] ipr: Use PCI-E reset API for new ipr adapter

Use a newly added PCI API to issue a PCI Fundamental reset (warm reset) to a new ipr PCI-E adapter. Typically, the ipr adapter uses the start BIST bit in config space to reset an adapter. Issuing start BIST on this particular adapter results in the PCI-E logic on the card losing sync, which causes
