[thread semi-hijacking] Busy-ness++ :/ I'm a bit disappointed that these one-liner bug fixes for SCSI have not been applied, despite repeated pings: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg58712.html Over a month has passed with zero comments (or objections), and we've now missed -rc4. Unless I hear soon, I'll throw them into libata-dev (thus, linux-next) and kick them upstairs. James has been replying to other stuff on the lists, so I'm not really sure how these basic, one-liner fixes keep slipping by. Jeff
