OK, I'll split this into four pieces for scsi-pending, since there are
three separate interest groups with signoffs to collect (MCA, m68k and
alpha) plus the core removal.

Anybody who can look into converting the m68k NCR53C9x drivers and has
hardware to test (some of) them? I don't think we can afford losing one
third of our SCSI drivers...

You can use the following as guidance:

    [SCSI] jazz_esp: Converted to use esp_core.
