Somebody had submitted this change in the last week,
along with the comment in that patch:

"The only way crap below could work..."

I had not seen the patch on this mailing list. 
I would like revert back to its previous bits since I don't see
what was broken with it.  These headers in the lsi folder are 
the mpi interface to the mpt firmware, and are bundled with 
all operating systems, etc. window, netware, solaris, unixware, etc.

I would need to keep linux_compat.h for compatibility
between lk 2.6 kernels variants.

Example - I'm building SuSE 9.1 drivers for the 2.6.4-52 , this
kernel doesn't define scsi_device_online; coming later in the 2.6.6.
I suggest keeping compatibity in the headers as 
opposed to the .c files.

I'm handling it right now.
