linux-next 20120416 + target for-next/for-next-merge

["Nicholas A. Bellinger" <nab@linux-iscsi.org>]

Hi folks,

Just a brief post-mortem on today's linux-next 20120416 build with
the current set of v3.5-rc target updates, the current qla2xxx target
merge candidate, and the new usb-gadget + sbp target code that's now
pending in for-next-merge.

Here is how the for-next branch is taking shape:

*) Changes from hch that begin to stop splitting commands into multiple 
   tasks + make pSCSI backends enforce physical SCSI max_sectors
*) Changes from roland to drop legacy transport_do_task_sg_chain() usage
   in core + upstream tcm_fc/ib_srpt code
*) Cleanups + refactoring from agrover for iscsi-target towards an 
   eventual target_submit_cmd() conversion

and the diffstat from Next/merge.log:

With the new set of v3.5-rc1 target fabric merge candidates thus far we've
not gotten any reported next build issues for archs supporting allmod
configs.  Great work by new target fabric maintainers Sebastian + Chris
to make their code go smoothly into next !

Also, the current qla2xxx/tcm_qla2xxx merge candidate has been updated
to drop legacy usage of transport_do_task_sg_chain() within for-next
(roland), while testing continues with qla2xxx LLD target specific
changes in initiator mode function to avoid any potential regression
issues for an initial v3.5-rc1 merge. (arun + Co.)

Here is how the diffstat is looking:

As usual, please let myself and/or individual fabric maintainers know if
anyone has any additional review comments+feedback on this new fabric
code.

Thanks!
