  - Remove above list from drivers/scsi/Kconfig &&
drivers/scsi/Makefile

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...

I'll have a look at this. I can only test it on Blizzard 1260 hardware
though.

OK, time's up.

These drivers are now unbuildable in mainline because of the promised
sg_table updates.  They either get removed, fixed or marked as BROKEN.
Which is it to be?

Is git smart enough to follow history between files that get removed and
readded?

Yes.  git revert on the removal changeset will re-add all the files and
try to put the entries back into Kconfig and Makefile.

If yes, I think you can remove them.
If no, please mark them as BROKEN.

OK ... I'll wave the magic wand.
