OK, I've changed my mind ... it doesn't really work well without all the rest of the pieces ... plus I think there are going to be merge nasties which I'd rather you sorted out. What I'll do is run a scsi-post-merge-2.6 tree here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-post-merge-2.6.git;a=summary I've dropped a quasi stable branch from your quilt tree and plumbed it into the -mc tree generation machinery, so it will warn me if you make too radical an alteration to your quilt. Andrew, you probably won't be able to pull this into -mm without the -mc machinery, so the best thing will simply to be to pull in the changes patch here right at the end of the -mm build (the same goes for linux-next): http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jejb/scsi-post-merge-2.6.diff It's a roll up patch of only the SCSI pieces. It's updated every time I push a patch, so it should always be current.
