I have tested against libata and scsi_debug for disks. There are slight changes, so someone with a tape device should test the patches, but Kai since Kai did all the debugging last round I have not made many changes. We will probably hit many problems with LLDs using low max_hw_sectors, because they have not been converted to export their real values on the host template so I think these patches should sit in scsi-misc for a good deal of time.
