The following patches, made against scsi-misc, remove the scsi_request

I have tested against libata and scsi_debug for disks. There are slight
changes, so someone with a tape device should test the patches, but Kai
since Kai did all the debugging last round I have not made many changes.
We will probably hit many problems with LLDs using low max_hw_sectors,
because they have not been converted to export their real values on the
host template so I think these patches should sit in scsi-misc for a
good deal of time.


I for got to cc the st and sg maintainers. In case you guys do not follow linux-scsi closely and do not want all those patches sent to you I put them here
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~michaelc/block/use-sg/v8/
I can email them again too if you want.
