Chris please don't cross-post to a mailing list that is members only.
I press reply-all when on linux-scsi or linux-kernel, and then I get
accused of pocking where I don't belong. So just don't do that.

And my advise to the devel@open-fcoe.org mailing list. Drop the
members only. It is useless with it. I know because I made the same
mistake with my osd-dev@open-osd.org. Believe me the span-filter
at mailman is fine and the span that will get through is not that bad.
