Hi,

the following patch sets the data direction in sd_synchronize_cache
to SCSI_DATA_NONE. Otherwise the data direction would be
SCSI_DATA_UNKNOWN, which is at least a problem for the zfcp
lldd, since it expects a value differently from unknown.
Please apply, thanks.

Addresses the fixme in scsi_alloc_queue.

Okay, when doing some other stuff I looked over this one, and it's
a bit confusing to read:

 - using a goto completed where a simple break would be sufficient
 - using for (;;) for a perfectly fine while loop
 - ...

but what's more interesting is that the spinlock handling in here,
when we switch from sdev_lock/queue_lock to host_lock we
do a spin_unlock_irq followed by a spin_lock_irqsave - but we
we just enabled interrupts so the save isn't nessecary at all, even
more we can just do spin_unlock/spin_lock when keeping them
disabled.  Also we drop host_lock in the middle of this function,
just to reacquire it a tad later in scsi_dispatch_cmd, but fixing
that need a bit more thinking as there's another caller for
scsi_dispatch_cmd.

->reset_chain is initialized by the midlayer only used in BusLogic's old EH
code (which is never called and thus can be #if 0'ed out until someone with
the hardware updates it to new EH), ->done_late is never used.

->scpnt_wait is initialized and cpqfc calls wake_up on it but no one
ever waits for it, ->allow_revalidate is completly unused.

spin_lock_irqsave takes an unsigned long.

Currently scsi_error.c has two opencoded copies for
scsi_report_bus_reset.  Get rid of them.

Currenty pcmcia drivers do a loop on their devices for issuing a
SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN ioctl from kernelspace and passing dev->type
to userspace so cardmgr can guess the the dev_t and find the
device node of it.

But it doesn't actually use it but only pass it as optional arguments
to it's poor-man's hotplug scripts.  So kill this horror of, we
have proper hotplug scripts in 2.5.  And here we go, the first big
host->my_devices abuser is gone.

Is someone still using the echo dump > /proc/scsi/scsi feature?  I think
we should kill it as we're getting much nicer output from sysfs these
days..

Two new headers:

  scsi_priv.h - for macros/declarations private to the scsi midlayer
		  (= not EXPORT_SYMBOL()ed)
  scsi_logging.h - for SCSI_LOG_* and friends, semi-private to the
  		midlayer and the upper drivers.  One abuse of this
		in dpt_i2o killed.

Sorry, wrong patch. We need to read COMMAND after doing
pci_enable_device/pci_set_master. We should also check the return
valie of pci_enable_device.

The included patch cleans up the EISA code :

- Documentation update,
- Remove i386 EISA ID reservation (handled in the generic code),
- Add some preliminary support for EISA-like VLB cards (Adaptec 287x),
- Add some stricter dependancies for EISA_VIRTUAL_ROOT
- Preliminary support for EISA DMA,
- Much more conservative probing,
- EISA IDs list update (Compaq stuff).

This is a fix from eons ago, which apparantly has been in the old
Rebel.com netwinder CVS for several years, and has never been
submitted upstream.

This fix allows FP registers to be correctly written to ELF core
files, as well as preventing corruption of other parts of ELF core
files caused by data on the kernel stack being overwritten.

- support new 2.5 irqreturn_t
- s/usec_delay/udelay/
- remove two stored-but-never-used members of struct ixgb_hw
- read PCI vendor/device ids from struct pci_dev, not h/w
- remove some unused wrappers from ixgb_osdep.h

* Wrap TSO support with NETIF_F_TSO to keep same driver
  source between 2.4 and 2.5.
