Fix problem with devfs when unloading the dm module.

dm-ioctl.c: deregister the misc device, and its associated symlink
*before* removing the /dev/mapper dir.  [Alasdair Kergon]

Use the correct size for "name" in register_with_devfs().

During Al Viro's devfs cleanup a few versions ago, this function was
rewritten, and the "name" string added. The 32-byte size is not large
enough to prevent a possible buffer overflow in the sprintf() call,
since the hash cell can have a name up to 128 characters.

Return correct error codes from dm_table_add_target().  [Kevin Corry]

Another fix for the __LOW macro.

When dm_table and dm_target structures are initialized, the "limits" fields
(struct io_restrictions) are initialized to zero (e.g. in dm_table_add_target()
in dm-table.c). However, zero is not a useable value in these fields. The
request queue will never let an I/O through, regardless of how small it might
be, if max_sectors is set to zero (see generic_make_request in ll_rw_blk.c).
This change to the __LOW() macro sets these fields correctly when they are
first initialized.  [Kevin Corry]

Allow slashes ('/') within a DM device name, but not at the beginning.

Devfs will automatically create all necessary sub-directories if a name
with embedded slashes is registered.  [Kevin Corry]

Silly mistake in error path when an unknown target type is requested.

Fix __LOW macro.  [Kevin Corry]

When reloading a device the ioctl interface was forgetting to drop a
reference on the new table.

The following patch fixes it:

Patrick pointed out that I could get into a ABBA issue with holding
list_lock while calling scsi_eh_scmd_add which takes host_lock.
A call to scsi_prep_fn already holds the queue_lock and then makes a
call to scsi_get_command which takes list_lock.

Sorry, I sent you the wrong paetch, here's the right one:

Untested, 2.5.63

I remember having this submitted a while ago, but here's the code
again, this time with the untested aic79xx bits.

Not tested, against 2.5.63

This patch makes sure that there is a "0x" in front of all hex numbers and
makes all outputs use a single style (all %x instead of mixed %x and %X).

Same bug as other sym driver.

Spelling fixes! Woo! I gotta get me some of that.

First hunk is unexplained.
Second hunk had the 2.4 changeset comment 'fix warnings'

This made it into 2.4, and aparently fixes
a problem with some tape devices.
