Oh sorry, totally forgot.

drivers/message/i2o/i2o_block.c:
--------------------------------
- corrected the initialization sequence of the request queues.
- added initialization to queue spinlocks.
- release device in i2o_scan because else the device could not be queried.

- i2o_block event threads wait on signal KILL but signal TERM was sent.

drivers/message/i2o/i2o_core.c:
-------------------------------
- set the HRT length to 0 at initialization, to avoid calling free on unallocated memory.
- i2o_core event threads wait on signal KILL but signal TERM was sent.
- added a limit of 3 tries to get the HRT from the controller.
- removed the dpt parameter, which was used to force DPT controllers get handled by the i2o driver. Now all available i2o controllers will be handled by this driver.

drivers/message/i2o/i2o_scsi.c:
-------------------------------
- beautifying of printk calls.
- added scsi_unregister to properly clean up on module unload.

drivers/message/i2o/Kconfig:
----------------------------
- added help for i2o_block and i2o_scsi to describe the differences between the two drivers.


include/linux/i2o-dev.h:
------------------------
- cleaned typo "tate" into "state".

include/linux/i2o.h:
--------------------
- removed defines from i2o_block and insert it here.


Hope it is okey this way.

Best regards,


Markus Lidel
