Re: [RFC] FC pass thru - Rev V

[James Smart <James.Smart@Emulex.Com>]

Thank you Seokmann. I'm glad the RFC worked well for you.  Your patch is 
appreciated, it was the portion that needed to be reverted as the 
collapsed blk_end_request() patch wasn't taken.  To double check - there 
are no patches required with the RFC now - right ?

I'll repost as a non-RFC, and we'll see where James takes it.
