To avoid namespace clashes with other qlogic drivers and also for the
sake of naming consistency, use the "qlge_" prefix as suggested in

You only renamed ql -> qlge. The prefix needs to be added where there is
currently none like the second example of that text.
On second thoughts, these structs like ob_mac_iocb_req are defined in
local headers and there is no mixed usage. So even when we want to
build this diver and other qlogic drivers into the kernel instead of
as separate modules, it won't lead to real problems, is it right?
Besides, the next patch reintroduces the name struct ql_adapter.
