Ugh, my queue is huge right now, give me a week or so to dig out of it and review this... Oh wait, you have almost no reviews from anyone else! Why is it up to me to do all of this work? :) Please get acks from others, at the very least, get it reviewed by other Intel kernel developers that we know and trust. I'm amazed you haven't already done that! thanks, greg k-h -- 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
