[PATCH] ide-tape update
From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <B.Zolnierkiewicz@elka.pw.edu.pl>, Stuart Hayes <stuart_hayes@dell.com> - Check drive's write protect bit, try to return appropriate errors when attempting to write a write-protected tape. - Moved "idetape_read_position" call in idetape_chrdev_open after the "wait_ready" call. - Added IDETAPE_MEDIUM_PRESENT flag so driver would know not to rewind tape after ejecting it. - Fixed bug with ide_abort_pipeline (it was deleting stages from tape->next_stage to end, instead of from new_last_stage->next (tape->next_stage was set to NULL by idetape_discard_read_pipeline before calling!). - Made improvements to idetape_wait_ready. - Added a few comments here and there. - Made MTOFFL unlock tape drive door before attempting to eject. - Added fixes to get Seagate STT3401A Travan working: Handle drives that don't support 0-length reads/writes increased timeout (retension takes ~10 minutes before irq is returned). Fixed request mode page packet command byte 3. Also remove code depending on NO_LONGER_REQUIRED to match 2.4.x (me).
