I have no objections. However, I was planning on pushing it through the
SCSI tree because it's in the new megaraid driver which is experimental
at the moment (the old megaraid driver is still in and still
selectable). It's been in -mm for a few days now with no ill effects, I
think, but I'm not sure how many megaraid owners have actually tested
it.
