Hi Johannes,

there is no relation to this efforts.
My patchset basically aims to add some support of IBMs 
Peer-to-Peer-Remote-Copy (PPRC) hardware feature to the DASD device driver.
PPRC is a protocol that might be used without any OS interaction on a 
storage server level.
This patchset allows the driver to recognize such devices correctly and 
allows an user to make a copy relation known to the driver.
In this case Linux is only an observer/user of the copy relation which 
is set up by an external entity.


regards,
Stefan
