Hi Stephen and James

I have prepared a branch for linux-next based on today's Linus tree
It is here:
    git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd.git linux-next
This is if it's OK with James, as these bits are his responsibility.
They need only sit in linux-next for a couple of weeks to get some wider
compilation exposure. Other then that they are totally new code and
are safe. Eventually they should be included into Linux-next through
scsi-misc-2.6.

I have only posted "ver 2" updates to a couple of patches that had
comments by people but more patches changed. Mainly:
- rename of scsi_dev => scsi_device
- missing static keyword
- Kbuild fixes and comments by Sam Ravnborg
- small typos found on the way

The new patchset can be reviewed at:
    git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd.git linux-next
    http://git.open-osd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-open-osd.git;a=shortlog;h=linux-next

or Based on current scsi-misc-2.6:
    git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd.git osd
    http://git.open-osd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-open-osd.git;a=shortlog;h=osd

I did not want to spam the mailing-list with somewhat same patches.
I will post them, if any one needs me to.

Thanks everyone for your help
Boaz
