Attached is an update for this document following on from
the changes that Christoph made around bk2 (changing
scsi_set_pci_device() to scsi_set_device() ).

(1) don't include eata_dma_proc.h - it's gone and we don't need it
(2) remove eata_pio_proc.c - it's #included in the main source file,
    so the functions can be there aswell
(3) move host template away from eata_pio.h


===== drivers/scsi/eata_pio.c 1.4 vs edited =====

we should be using module_put really, __MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT will die soon

Move the host template to the actual source file and get rid of wd7000.h

The NEC one is from the PC98 folks, the Sun one from feral's isp driver

.. and unwind properly to avoid leaks

This is an update of a previous patch I posted.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=104495114103628&w=2

This patch is against scsi-misc-2.5

The updates from the last patch include:
	- Names changes:
		eh_cmd_list => eh_cmd_q
		eh_list => eh_entry

	- Move shost->in_recovery = 0

	- Switch from scsi_retry_command to scsi_queue_insert for retry
	  to solve fast completions / serial start of retries.

	- Use list_splice_init in scsi_unjam_host.

which is needed to keep track of process usage counts correctly and
efficiently.

Bill Irwin was talking about hw_interrupt_type.set_affinity and kirq.
When I went looking, I failed to find this initialization.

Here are some nice, easy-to-find, named initializers.

We're calling mmdrop() under spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock).  But mmdrop
calls vfree(), which calls smp_call_function().

It is not legal to call smp_call_function() with irq's off.  Because
another CPU may be running smp_call_function() against _this_ CPU, which
deadlocks.

So the patch arranges for mmdrop() to not be called under
spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock).

We are leaving local interrupts disabled coming out of exit_notify().

But we are about to call wait_task_inactive() which spins, waiting for
another CPU to end a task.  If that CPU has issued smp_call_function() to
this CPU, deadlock.

So the patch enables interrupts again before returning from exit_notify().

Also, exit_notify() returns with preemption disabled, so there is no
need to perform another preempt_disable() in do_exit().

Manifested as X profile appearing as /dev/mem ...

This potentially helps debugging, since otherwise a double fault
would generate a triple fault and then reboot the machine. Now
instead it can print out a note about where the problem happened,
unless all the kernel data structures are truly buggered.

it's a noop in 2.5 now that the behvaiour of implicitly exporting
all symbols is gone.

This patch removes the devfs interface code in mtrr that has been
stubbed out by an ifdef forever.  It's one of the few remaining users
of regular files on devfs so there's some urge for me to get rid of it :)

Use cdevname instead in the serial driver printk cut & pasted into about
a dozend places.

small updates to bring us nearer the lm_Sensors CVS (docs, comments,
missing statics, named initializers).  I still need to review their
actual code changes before submitting those..
