Sure, I was just reading over this stuff.

But on the other hand, linux-scsi will be dependant upon net-next-2.6
because this patch here uses flags that will only be added there.

Therefore there has to be a dependency in one direction or another,
the question is which one works better for you FCOE guys.

The best thing to do in these situations is usually to create the
dependency and merge into the tree where most of the subsystem
specific bits (and thus developer ACKs) are needed.  And then
just occaisionally go and ask the other subsystem guys for ACKs
when necessary.
