Hi all,

it has been bugged me for ages that the advansys driver always
reported a compilation warning about not having been converted
to the DMA-API.
And even aggressive waiting hasn't made this warning go away.

So here's a patchset to update the advansys driver to current
standards and use the DMA-API.
Tested on ABP940-U2W.

As usual, reviews and comments are welcome.

Hannes Reinecke (12):
   advansys: use host_reset
   advansys: use shared host tag map for command lookup
   advansys: use DMA-API for mapping sense buffer
   advansys: Use DMA-API for carrier buffer
   advansys: Use DMA-API for mapping request blocks
   advansys: Use dma_pool for sg elements
   advansys: use 'bool' instead of 'int'
   advansys: use standard data types
   advansys: Remove 'TRUE' and 'FALSE' definitions
   advansys: Remove 'ERR' definition
   advansys: cleanup function return codes
   advansys: Update to version 3.5 and remove compilation warning

Looks good.

Tried to find my old Advansys HBAs but failed, probably
the result of a purge a few years back. Hence I was unable
to test it with my few remaining SPI disks and tape drive.
If memory serves, for a while Advansys HBAs were bundled
with SCSI scanners.

The original Advansys maintainer, Bob Frey, I suspect was
the recipient of my first SCSI related queries.
