The patches are as follows: - i2o-config-clean.patch * Changes the formating of the header in i2o_config.c - i2o-passthru.patch * Add a pass-thru ioctl to i2o_config, which is needed to work with the Adaptec management software. - i2o_block-cleanup.patch * more than 3 "visible" disks (hda, hdb, hdc, hdd) lead to kernel panics. * removes some unused code with partitions. * I2O_LOCK was often called with the addresses of the controller, and not with the address of the device. Fixed. * the cleanup function for gendisk (del_gendisk) doesn't work if the queue is shared between different devices. To workaround the queue is removed before. * redundant code removed in module initialization and remove, use i2ob_new_device and i2ob_del_device instead. * removed atomic_t queue_depth * removed unnecessary and bogus code for queue handling - i2o-64-bit-fix.patch * provides i2o_context_list_*() functions, which maps 64-bit pointers to 32-bit context id's in a dynamic list. On 32-bit systems the functions are replaced with a static inline. * i2o_scsi now uses the i2o_context_list_*() functions for transaction context, and therefore now work on 64-bit systems too. - i2o-makefile-cleanup.patch * The Kconfig and Makefile in drivers/message/i2o still got a CONFIG_I2O_PCI entry, which is not used anymore. This one is replaced by a CONFIG_I2O_CONFIG entry, which now builds the i2o_config module. Already posted the first 4 patches to linux-scsi with request for review, but expect of the i2o-passthru.patch there where no complains. And the request for using the SG_IO in i2o-passthru.patch isn't possible at the moment, because it is a char device node. If you have any questions / problems, please let me know.
