[PATCH] kill old EH constants

2005-04-05 Thread Christoph Hellwig
Fix up two drivers that incorrectly were using the old return values for their new-style EH methods and kill off scsi_obsolete.h that defined the constants. The initio driver has all these constansts defined locally and uses them internally, I'll fix that up some time later. --- 1.95/drivers/scs
