  Jeremy Higdon <jeremy () sgi ! com>:

  	For those to whom this is new (it was discussed on linux-kernel
  	and linux-ia64 I believe), normal PCI register reads imply that
  	PCI DMA writes that occured prior to the PCI MMR (memory mapped
  	register) read (on the PCI bus) will be reflected in system
  	memory once the MMR read is complete.

  	On our platforms, we can speed up the MMR read significantly if
  	that ordering requirement is "relaxed".

  	So I attempted to find the common register reads that don't
  	have a need for this ordering so that I could make them use
  	this faster read.

  Fix several problems when handling commands issued to tape devices:

  	1) insure commands are not prematurely returned to the mid-layer
  	   with a failed status during loop/fabric transitions.

  	2) tape commands tend to have rather 'long' timeout values,
  	   unfortunately, as the these values increase into the 17 to
  	   20 minute range (and larger), the cumulative skew of the
  	   RISC's own timer result in commands being held for seconds
  	   beyond their defined timeout values.  Compensate for this
  	   in the driver's command timeout function.

  Older, notably the ISP2100, chips have some contraints for the request
  queue depth and number of scatter-gather elements allowed for a
  given command.  For this chip, reduce request queue size to 128 and
  maximum number of scatter-gather entries for a command to 32.

From: 	Moore, Eric Dean <Emoore@lsil.com>

add a timeout field to struct scsi_device and expose it in in sysfs.

This patch allows LLDs to override the default timeout used for scsi devices
and exposes it in sysfs. The default timeout value used is too short for
many RAID array devices, such as those created by the ipr driver.

We cannot call del_timer_sync() from within that timer's handler function!

On one of our big machines we found a problem with posted writes while
running AIM.

Two writes of the Request Queue In pointer went out of order, making
the chip think that it had a queue wrap.

I took advantage of this opportunity to add relaxed reads, which helps
the Altix.  It should not affect other arches.  All reads are relaxed
except for the read of the Semaphore register.

Some buggy USB storage devices can return Unit Attention status for
INQUIRY commands.  The current code in scsi_scan.c checks for ASC = 0x28 =
Not ready to ready transition, but these devices can also return ASC =
0x29 = Power-on or reset occurred.  In addition, the code doesn't retry
the INQUIRY when these codes are received.

Fifth attempt at a PCMCIA SCSI driver for the Symbios 53c500
controller.  This version has all the cleanup Christoph has requested
to date, including removal of support for the obsolete (in 2.6)
proc_info functionality.

Support for additional sysfs class device attributes has been added:
two are read-only (irq, ioport), one is read-write (fast_pio).  The
read-write attribute is a per-instance flag indicating the PIO speed
of the particular HBA: valid values are 1 (enabled -- default) and 0
(disabled).

This patch was causing a boot panic.  Now fixed.

scsi_get_device needs no NULL check

drivers/scsi/sd.c:1477: warning: unused variable `sdev'

This patch includes the following driver changes:

   1.26.00.038 - Roll driver minor version to 26 to denote kernel 2.6.
                 Add support for cmds_per_lun module parameter.

                 Fix data_buffer_length usage in tw_chrdev_ioctl().
