This patch adds request prep functions to the mid-layer. At the moment, its a single request prep function for all of SCSI. I've altered the logic in scsi_request_fn so that we now do early preparation (this should improve throughput slightly in the untagged case with only a single command block). The prep function also cannot drop the queue lock, so the calling assumptions for scsi_init_io and the upper layer driver init_commands have changed to be that the lock is now held and they cannot drop it. I think this means that we have no callers of scsi_init_io that aren't atomic, so perhaps I can just take the if out. I've hammered this in my usual set up, but other testers would be welcome. James
