I would also appreciate an overview or a block diagram of how things
work in LIO. I hope that's not too much to ask for? That way we can
compare/contrast how things work from 10,000 feet level.
I for one don't want to look at a single patch and comment -
i) Oh, change this variable here because it doesn't follow linux coding style.
ii) You dropped a lock in queue-cmd? Good. qla's driver has been doing
it for sometime, no? So you could have just looked at that LLDD.

Sorry, not trying to criticize anything but would like to offer my 2 cents too.
