1) To make it easier for people to review and test the driver, I would suggest posting a diff against 2.6.24-rc7 (or 2.6.23), ignoring my original code. Thus, it would result in a patch

Er, that sentence was incomplete.  Continuing...


Thus it would result in a patch that adds a new file drivers/scsi/mvsas.c to the 2.6.24-rc7 kernel, and modifies drivers/scsi/Makefile and drivers/scsi/Kconfig to enable this new driver.

That is the format that developers and users are most familiar with, when reviewing (and testing) a new driver.

But of course this is a draft, so these guidelines are certainly loose...
