I know that LSI are working on an updated driver for 2.6, but would
really like to see this bug fix placed in the main tree before then,
whenever then happens to be.

This patch fixes the problem of the /proc entries for this driver being
created in the wrong location.

At present there is no way to retry, if allowed, a scsi command without
decrementing the scsi command's retry count.

Please find a patch attached, which is submitted, for adding a new host_byte
status code called "DID_IMM_RETRY". This enables the Low Level SCSI drivers
to initiate retry of a scsi command without decrementing the scsi commad's
retry count.

Move version information from .h to .c so that it's more likely to
get updated as changes are made (the .h file is rarely modified).
Update the version from 2.04 to 2.05

Clean up debugging statements. Work on making output consistent - use
the same format each time the same bit of information is output and
output the same bits of information in the same order each time it's
output. Update a lot of the actual messages to include useful
information and to explain better what some things are. Remove some
old comments and commented out code. Remove some of the debugging
states. Find few instance of spaces that should have been tabs and
trailing white space and remove them.

Remove the special versions of kmalloc and kfree and remove the trace
related stuff from the code. None of this is really needed and it is
not really a nice implementation. This also removes all non 7-bit
clean characters to help with David Eger's work to remove and/or
convert them all to UTF8.

Cleanup a lot of the sg list handling to make it easier to follow in
preparation for making this work on sparc64 (big-endian & 64bit).

Formatting cleanups.
- Remove lots of comments that were out-of-date, wrong, or now
  described things that had been simplified that much that the
  comments were no longer needed.
- Move the "static" definition from a line before functions onto the
  same line as the function itself.
- Remove "return;" from the end of void functions.
- Remove braces from around single instructions.
- Merge the declaration and assignment to variables in places where
  the followed each other.
- Remove braces from around single statement that obviously didn't
  need them.
- Remove unused code and variables.
- Fix debug statement in disconnect to not deref potentially null
  ptr.
- Change a lot of short comments that take up three lines down to one
  line.

This patch fixes the code that workaround lockups when accessing
the config space of devices on K2 when they are shut down. The
code was there but in the wrong place ;) And a typo prevented the
ohci1394 version of it from working.

When adding an additional device, a variable which has been removed
is accessed.  Adding the first device or a 4-port card works.
Adding a second device was not done in PCI hot plug testing.  Now
tested on IA32.

The bug turned out to be memory corruption by DMA, and
the corrupted address made it that much more obvious.

Getting some blood sugar made the real fix for that become
obvious! This replaces the preceding TEMPORARY hack.

Only unlink EDs that aren't already being unlinked!

Duh.

Fix some OHCI TD list corruption issues:

    - Don't rewrite HC registers holding ED pointers until the HC
      had a good chance to finish using them.

    - Don't ever modify ed->hwTailP

Adds text describing the different ED states.

Adds TEMPORARY hack that may make a "rm_list becomes circular" bug
continuable.

This patch was trying to work around buggy SMM bios but causes problems
by not deasserting NMI irq line (reported by Thomas Schlicht) for some
integrated local apic.

This patch was written originally as an optimization (with the side
effect to fix those bugged bios) but was never applied to 2.4 tree.

The rational was: fix your bios instead.

We still retain the default MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS (which
is currently 128).  However, a mechanism for raising
the limit correctly is added for people who wish to
benchmark with larger sglists.

A decision on how we present this to the user will be
taken at a later time when more information about
the usefulness of a higher limit is available

Remember to invalidate the task->tty of threads, otherwise prod_pid_stat()
later stumbles over the dangling pointers and crashes.

The condition still seems to happen on ppc64.

sock_sendmsg() modifies iovec passed to it - it sets all length members of
iovec array to zero on success transmission (and even on failed if it
fails after iovec copy, but...) and advances pointers to point at the end
of buffers used. This has an unfortunate effect that ncpfs's retry on
failure does not work for IPX/UDP connections - kernel refused to do anything
because length from iovec was 0 while length passed to sock_sendmsg() was
correct.

This simple fix gets rid of a problem by creating temporary iovec copy, which can
sock_sendmsg destroy if it has such wish.

This adds infrared remote support for a few more bt878-based TV cards.

The first three bio and request flags are no longer identical.  The bio
barrier and rw flags are getting set in __make_request and get_request
respectively, and failfast is getting left out.

This sets the request's failfast flag in __make_request when the bio's
flag is set.
