There are still some other large outstanding issues. For example the kobject_hotplug function must be called from a process context. I was not sure if the transport class should provide this, or is it the drivers responsibilty (some drivers have threads for work already), or should SCSI ML supply this as it may have to if it is going to provide events too. > Martin >
