bkbits.net problems and work arounds

[James Bottomley]

For those of you tracking the scsi-misc-2.5 repository, there seems to
be a bkbits.net problem that prevents me from updating it.

Temporarily, I've pushed the latest tree up to

http://linux-scsi.bkbits.net/scsi-misc1-2.5

Please use this for the time being to get the current tree.  I'm hoping
scsi-misc-2.5 will be back online shortly.

The changes in this are:
