Actually, I have it built and running (actually 2.6.25-rc5-mc5 which
includes all the changes in your tree).  Amazingly it's pretty much
fully functional, except ses which seems to have suffered a breakdown in
the way its model works.  I'll see if I can fix it up.

Since the patch is separable, it's probably best to take it through the
SCSI tree ... including the infiniband bits that depend on the
iser/iscsi transport classes.  You can give the rest of the infiniband
pieces to roland, since he's got a nasty set of clashes with the
__FUNCTION__->__func__ conversion which I don't want to be responsible
for.
