Lots of improvements... a cleaner API, clean straightforward code which is easy to customize (or generalize, when the desire to support ATA hotswap comes along), and a new feature; no longer kernel panics on any action! Some testing on x86 UP, minimal on SMP. Please test, send questions, suggestions, and apply if you like it. Patches apply cleanly to 2.6.14-rc1. I've got some hardware so if you discover problems I can probably reproduce them. Enjoy, Luke Kosewski
