There's been various TODO items posted: (1) my TODO list for making the core HCIL idependent (2) finishing the transition to remove struct scsi_request and only send down S/G list (3) get rid of legacy host probing and we'd all be happy if you added to the list. Talking doesn't change anything, please submit patches and help moving things forward. Thanks. And please start a new thread for such suggestions, this thread has finally managed to get into my killfile. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
