[PATCH] Declare PIO_CMAP/GIO_CMAP as compatbile ioctls.

[Bill Nottingham]

Otherwise, these don't work when called from 32-bit userspace on 64-bit kernels.

Alan, I am hesitant to consider this material implicitly applicable for 
trivial tree. Could you please give your Acked-by for it so that I can 
merge, or take it through your tree completely?

Thanks,

Bill, please remember to add signoffs?  This should all be scripted.

No, it isn't appropriate for the trivial tree.

afaict this fix is needed all the way back to 2.6.tiny.  I merged it
with 2.6.29 intentions.  Also tagged as needed in 2.6.25.x and later.

I would have expected that that would be the default in 'git format-patch'.
Will keep note of that for the future.

So, is there some way to do static analysis on the kernel source to
find *all* ioctls that aren't marked as compatible, and don't have
specific compat handlers?

Not that I am aware of.  Julia Lawall might be able to cook up such
a thing.

[PATCH] Add a 'wait-scan' command to /proc/scsi/scsi.

[Bill Nottingham]

scsi_wait_scan.ko is a bad interface for a variety of reasons:
- once you load it, it stays in memory doing nothing
- if you need to call it again, you first need to check for the module
  and unload it first
- waiting for scsi scans shouldn't require module loading privleges in
  any case

This creates a simpler interface that doesn't require as much
scaffolding in userspace.

Sorry about this last bit - git hiccup.
