Re: [PATCH] 2.6.19 m68k Atari: SCSI support

SCSI should be working on a TT (but someone should really try!) but causes
trouble on a Falcon (as in: it ate a filesystem of mine) at least when
used concurrently with IDE. I have the notion it's because locking of the
ST-DMA interrupt by IDE is broken in 2.6 (the IDE driver always complains
about trying to release an already-released ST-DMA). Needs more work, but
that's on the IDE or m68k interrupt side rather than SCSI.

That driver really needs more work. Several things in it have become
obsolete, e.g. it still uses sleep_on() and manages it's own queue.

Throw me a few more hints, please. I already knew about error handling
being changed; what should I use for sleep_on(), and will the driver still
be able to release the ST-DMA lock on request done if queue management is
done by the midlevel?
