Sure, I'll state my case: This is a bug, but it has no affected users, nor will it because the aic94xx doesn't work on non-x86 architectures by reason of other longstanding bugs (and TODEVICE/FROMDEVICE only matters to architecures which use dma_map_sg to program the IOMMU). Given that we're at -rc9 and counting every patch towards stabilisation, I see no benefit to adding this to the tree because the benefit to users is zero and the detriment from code churn at this stage is potentially non-zero. My recommendation is still to follow what I propose: take it via scsi-misc to 2.6.24-rc1 and then back to 2.5.23.x James - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
