Current plans for SDEV_EVT_* and friends

Hi Tejun,

seeing that you are moving the old SCSI / libata AEN handling over
to the new block-based workqueue, I was wondering what your plans
are with the remaining SDEV_EVT_* things.

Thing is I'm currently working on implementing proper Unit Attention
handling in the SCSI stack. For this I would need to have some field
off the scsi_device structure into which I can store information
about which events / event types are supported and which are activated.
So the existing bitmap approach with 'supported_events' would quite
a good starting point here, and it will even be useful to add
another one, eg 'enabled_events'.
And, of course, plan is to route appropriate events over to the
block workqueue by calling disk_check_events().

Unless you have other ideas/plans here ...

Cheers,

Hannes
