That's great. Keep me posted on how it fares in your environment. I'll also give them a try. I think that there will be quite a few things that the ipr driver and the SAS Transport Layer would set in exactly the same way, like say, the device id, DMA (rate), etc. Those commonalities can be abstracted away later I guess. If you have a patch introducing this patch to ipr, send it to me please.
