Hi James,

The following patches export busy-status of SCSI LLD to request-based
dm-multipath for proper I/O scheduling.
The patches are created on the following commit of scsi-post-merge-2.6.

The changes from the previous version (*) is to check the busy state
everytime instead of using a cached flag inside scsi.

Summary of the patches:

  2/2: scsi: export busy state via q->lld_busy_fn()

Please review and apply.

Thanks,
Kiyoshi Ueda
