I CC: Andrew when I send to linux-kernel.  I was under the impression 
linux-scsi was a lower traffic list.

Ok.

There might be a flag, but I haven't checked any of this in, just used it to 
diff against a current base.

Changed 3 or 4 instances of lowercase scsi to SCSI in the docbook.  Didn't 
find an irq or lld in there.

Keep in mind I wrote less than half of the kerneldoc comments in these 
files.  "They're" and failing to capitalize the first word of each sentence 
were common patterns I tried to fix up where I could, but I missed a bunch.

These comments need a lot more work in general, and I just moved the 
explanation of that statement to the response to James Bottomley's email.

> Chap. 1:

I have no idea, ask the first paragraph of:
http://sg.torque.net/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html#what

I was initially trying to integrate that and the 2.4 SCSI howto into this 
document, but I A) just didn't have time this week, B) have idea which parts 
of that are out of date.  (And C) still don't understand large chunks of it, 
although that's mostly just a restatement of A.)

If you can confirm "yes they can be 32 bytes long" I can add it...

You mean like:

      <sect2 id="scsi.c">
        <title>drivers/scsi/scsi.c</title>
        <para>Main file for the SCSI midlayer.</para>

Which is what the tmpl file says now?  That's the only instance of it in the 
file that I can find.  I don't understand what you're asking for.

Ok, took a stab at it.

Yup.  Got it.

I don't, but this file has a lot of 'em, doesn't it?  Removed...
