Here we go.

Patch 1: scsi-scan-depr-forcelun
	Document that we don;'t want every single multi-lun device 
	be listed with FORCELUN. That way lays madness.
Patch 2: scsi-scan-blist-replun
	Drop CONFIG_SCSI_REPORT_LUN config param. Instead provide
	BLIST_NOREPORTLUN, which can be used globally (or per device).
	Also add BLIST_REPORTLUN2, which allows REPORT_LUNS even for 
	SCSI-2 if the host adapter support more than 8 LUNs.
	Bump default no of supported LUNs to 511 (so the kmalloc fits
	in one 4k page). 
Patch 3: scsi-scan-no-offl-pq-notcon
	Don't mark devices with PQ 1 or 3 offline. Leave them, so they
	can be accessed via sg. Prevent the sd driver from attachind
	to such devices.
	This is the port of Mike Anderson's patch as suggested by Pat.
Patch 4: scsi-scan-dont-att-pq-notcon
	The other high level drivers (except sg, which is not really 
	high) should not attach to PQ = 1 or 3 devices either.
Patch 5: scsi-scan-inq-timeout
	Make the INQUIRY timeout during SCSI scanning adjustable, so
	users can work around broken devices.
