      [SCSI] Pass proper device from BusLogic to SCSI layer · 745caf71
      Petr Vandrovec authored
      While trying to get SUSE's SLES9 working on system with more than 4GB we've
      noticed that SCSI layer happilly passes addresses over 4GB to the buslogic
      driver, which is quite a big problem as buslogic can generate only 32bit
      busmastering cycles.
      
      Fortunately in the current kernels this problem does not exist anymore as
      SCSI layer now assumes 4GB capable device by default, but it is still good
      idea to pass correct device structure to the SCSI layer.  If nothing else,
      /sys/block/sda/device now points to
      /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/...  instead of
      /sys/devices/platform/host0/...  like it did in the past.
      
      Change does nothing for ISA based BusLogic adapters, they'll still end
      under platform (and they are probably broken for long time as I do not see
      anything forcing ISA 16MB limit for them).
