Peter Moulder has pointed out that there is a slight chance that a
negative value might be passed to jiffies_to_msecs() in
ata_scsi_park_show(). This is fixed by saving the value of jiffies in a
local variable, thus also reducing code since the volatile variable
jiffies is accessed only once.

added to #tj-upstream.  Thanks.
Has this branch been pulled in yet? My patch, for one, is not even in
linux-next even though it had been intended for 2.6.28 at the time.

Jeff, have you pulled it or taken patches from it?

Thanks.

I sent an email a couple days ago, asking what was pending (or thought I did...). I haven't pulled from #tj-upstream but I ack'd a big patchset that I assume is included in there.

	Jeff
