Hi Boaz,

    Well, I wouldn't say I'm serious about SCSI 8) but I am delighted to see 
this being done.  Have grabbed scsi-pending from git.kernel.org, thanks for 
the hint.

   Remember, these scsi patches are a side-effect of trying to get my own 
sg-using code sane.  So this is exactly what I *don't* want: another "works 
for scsi" solution :(

I'll see where we can go from here...
Thanks,
Rusty.
