There is agreement that the word "slave" should not be used in Linux
kernel source code. Hence this patch that renames .slave_alloc() into
.device_alloc() and .slave_destroy() into .device_destroy() in the SCSI
core, SCSI drivers, ATA drivers and also in the SCSI documentation.
Do not modify Documentation/scsi/ChangeLog.lpfc. No functionality has
been changed.
This patch has been created as follows:
* Change the text "slave_alloc" into "device_alloc" in all source files
except in the LPFC driver changelog.
* Change the text "slave_destroy" into "device_destroy" in all source
files except in the LPFC driver changelog.
I still like my names better:

The names used in this patch series are the names proposed by Christoph
Hellwig. Christoph, do you agree with the names proposed by Matthew?
From his cover letter:
scsi: Rename slave_alloc to sdev_prep
scsi: Rename slave_destroy to sdev_destroy
scsi: Rename slave_configure to sdev_configure
Thanks,
Bart.
