Not that I know of.

I never re-sent patches to change the GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL. With
the sleep debugging, and per other discussions, no in_interrupt check
should be needed. I can create, test, and send them to you or
the list, but the change is simple.

More device attributes should be added, so we can move away from
/proc/scsi - like vendor, product, online, and maybe more.

The device model "name" should be replaced for now with our own
"uid" field, and name used as a generic description, probably the
same thing that is put into the type field right now, or something
for disk like "scsi direct-access" and for tape "scsi sequential-access".
