Instead of abusing the ScsiHost base field I'd prefer if you stick

I wouldn't call it abuse: it's a (MM)IO base address anyway.
But I see that field was indeed marked `legacy crap' in an otherwise
innocent looking
commit to split the SCSI include files... by you ;-)

a properly typed pointer into the device specific host data.

You mean shost_priv()? That field already contains a pointer to the
struct WD33C93_hostdata.

But I'll create a new a2091_hostdata struct that contains both the
WD33C93_hostdata and the a2091_scsiregs pointer (and do the same
for gvp11.c and a3000.c). It's a bit similar to what sgiwd93.c does, albeit that
one also uses the legacy base field.

As I want to avoid introducing bugs by respinning the complicated
parts (the zorro
driver and platform driver conversion patches), I made this change on
top of the 2
whole patch series.

A2091 part:

I've applied up to 10/21 which should make it easier, but this patch

Thanks a lot! (I saw they showed up in linux-next, which is good!)

refuses to apply:

patch: **** malformed patch at line 230: struct scsi_cmnd *SCpnt,

Bummer. I sent those manually from gmail using copy-'n-paste from
gedit, which _used_
to work fine w.r.t. whitespace and line breaks. Oh well, they broke it :-(

could you respin the remaining patches so they'll actually apply?

The remaining 11-21/21 from the original series had been sent using
git-send-email, so they should apply fine.

I'll resend the other 3 using git-send-email, too. The first 2 should
apply fine on top
of the series of 21.
The third won't apply as it depends on the Amiga platform rework, but we can
sort that out later. Or I can just take care of it myself, if you approve?

Thanks again!
