This should be the final SCSI updates; it's mainly just a few accessor
completion updates and two driver merges (sym2 and qla2xxx) we also
secured DaveM's agreement to remove fcal/fc4, which explains the high
removal line count.
The patch is available here:

I guess I have the go-ahead to merge the end-CDROM-polling async
notification work you've been repeatedly ignoring?
I haven't been ignoring it ... it just needs quite a bit of work; the
best way to accelerate it seems to be simply to do it (add the
supported/trigger event bitmasks and expand the infrastructure). I just
haven't had the time within the merge window.
James, things cannot get bottlenecked like this. You have had MONTHS to
say something like this. The code was ready BEFORE the merge window.
I really think you have the knowledge to be SCSI maintainer, but not the
time.
Jeff,
If only I had a dollar (Canadian unit please) for
each day some of my libata patches were queued
up to you before you accepted them.
Remember MODE SELECT ...
You're darned right, I've screwed up in the past. Sat on stuff "until I
get time to rewrite it" and that sort of thing. My colleagues give me
lumps for it too :)
We talked about this issue at the Kernel Summit -- collectively we need
to stop holding on to useful, working stuff for months on end. It
serves nobody.
We have to rediscover our roots: "release early, release often"
Jeff
