It's still a big patch mixing various features and fixes and whitespace
changes. Also:
- ioc->sasDeviceList still exists although it's not actually traversed,
and quite a lot od dead code to fill it
- the mptctl_hba_pciinfo() ioctl call is vetoed, this information
can be easily retrived from sysfs, and we aboslutely don't want this
duplicated in every LLDD
- please don't add TRUE/FALSE defines - Linux codingstyle prefers 0/1
- what's that ->last_lun thing about?
- your forgot to kill one MPTSCSIH_DBG_TIMEOUT in ->queuecommand
- mptscsih_slave_destroy still has the vdev != NULL check - if this
case still happens now that the hotremoval is fixed you're in
much deeper problems than this check could solve
- if you already changed the boot parameter syntax please move to
a module_param for each individual parameter
