No it's not ... there's still ipr (and any other external consumer).
In it's current form, the new eh simply wasn't usable externally.  As I
said for ipr in the intro blurb, I can't see a way to convert it without
making it attach fully to libsas, although an alternative might be to
get the raid transport class to proxy.
