Yes, thank you.

This really isn't anything new or paramount. It's just a simple
extension, marked OPTIONAL, that only *capable* drivers should use.
(i.e. the aic7xxx drivers, maybe some FC and USB).

So it's not really that big of a deal, but does wonders to
SCSI Core in terms of recovery time and *uninterruptible*
IO.
