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
