Is there any background reading available so I can have some idea what
these patches are supposed to do.
I have a vague idea what an "enclosure" is but I didn't know that Linux
knew about them.  Is there a link to the LWN article about them or some
other useful documentation?  "git grep -i enclosur Documentation/"
didn't show anything likely to be useful.

And what is "/dev/disk/by-slot"?? I've never come across it before
and google doesn't help much.  Just these patches and
  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/93809

which doesn't seem very conclusive.

So currently I am not able to review these patches.
