[PATCH 0/8] qla4xxx: new driver -- request for review.

All,

Here's a first-pass run for submission-review of the qla4xxx driver for
QLogic's ISP4010 and ISP4022 products.

The patchset breaks-down as follows:

o Driver definitions
o initialisation routines
o OS integration files
o iSNS routines
o ISR routines
o Mailbox routines
o Support routines
o Settings

There's still quite a bit of work to do:

- All command-queueing has been removed, so cable-pulls cannot be
tolerated. We need to complete the iSCSI transport integration
(which seems to no be present).

Are the iSCSI block()/unblock() routines moving forward similarly to
FC and now SAS? Mike Christie had submitted patches:

[PATCH] add block/unblock to iscsi class
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=111201856631844&w=2

some time back. Why were the patches dropped?

- Request-queue management cleanup

- iSNS code rework

- Additional cruft removal (unused structures and functions)

All patches can be found at the following URL:

Comments and criticisms welcomed.
