That sounds great. Regarding the SRP initiator driver: if the "__be64
lun" declarations in <scsi/srp.h> are changed into "struct scsi_lun lun"
then that allows to encode / decode LUNs inside the SRP initiator
without having to cast the address of these "lun" members into struct
scsi_lun *. In case you would prefer me to have a look into this, please
let me know.
Bart.
