Subject: HEADS UP for gdth driver users

Hi folks,

the gdth driver is the only driver using (and in this case abusing) the
scsi_request interface we plan to kill for 2.6.17. I've sent a patch
that's a first step to convert the driver away from it a few weeks ago
but didn't get any response. I urgently need testers to keep the driver
for 2.6.17+. Else it'll be marked broken until we get a person to help
testing the changes needed to resurrect it.

We are willing to test the changes. Could you please send the latest patch to me?

Thanks,
