[KJ] New idea for TODO

[KJ] New idea for TODO

[Henne]

Hi there,

I know that the TODO list is long, but I may have found a new task.

In drivers/scsi lies a file called scsi.h which seems to be a relict and is included in many mature scsi-drivers,
but include/scsi/scsi.h would be the better choice.
After a little surfing I think all typedef'd Scsi_Cmnd can be replaced with struct scsi_cmnd, to get rid of
that typedef stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Greets,
Henne

include/scsi/scsi.h says:

/*
 * NOTE:  this file only contains compatibility glue for old drivers.  All
 * these wrappers will be removed sooner or later.  For new code please use
 * the interfaces declared in the headers in include/scsi/
 */

The file is already nearly empty, and the goal is getting it completely 
empty, not moving the remaining stuff to a different header.

Thats what I meant, but I think I don't wrote it, right?
I wanted to say:
- change Scsi_Cmnd to struct scsi_cmnd in all drivers
- delete the include "scsi_typedefs.h" from drivers/scsi.h and
- remove drivers/scsi_typedefs.h from the tree

Don't ask me why I didn't wrote it in my first mail. :)
