This particular series could stand to have a few more minor commit's squashed together, and a quick run through checkpatch as well. But other that these small items, the commits have been made tidy, with intelligible changelogs + proper authorship with target v4.0.0-rc7 running in .38-rc2 x86_64 VM, and the bugfixes ready to be included for mainline. Squashing will probably save only 2-3 commits in this particular series, but I will get these minor items condensed and produce a followup GIT PULL v2 request from scsi-post-merge-2.6.git/for-38-rc3 against linus .38-rc2. Again just to verify, these will be sent out in their entirety to linux-scsi. --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
