-
- Patches from me (ERY) to finish support for low-level loadable scsi.
- It now works, and is actually useful.
-
- * Throughout - add new argument to scsi_init_malloc that takes an
- additional parameter. This is used as a priority to kmalloc,
- and you can specify the GFP_DMA flag if you need DMA-able memory.

- could be > 16Mb if we are loading a module at runtime (i.e. use
- scsi_init_malloc to get some memory we know will be safe).
-
- * scsi.c: Change dma freelist to be a set of pages. This allows
- us to dynamically adjust the size of the list by adding more pages
- to the pagelist. Fix scsi_malloc and scsi_free accordingly.
-
- * scsi_module.c: Fix include.
-
- * sd.c: Declare detach function. Increment/decrement module usage
- count as required. Fix init functions to allow loaded devices.

- changes appear from some unknown corner of the universe.
-
- * Throughout: Change COMMAND_SIZE() to use SCpnt->cmd_len.

- all I/O to certain other cards. Helps prevent problems with some
- ISA motherboards.
-
- * hosts.h: Add usage_count to Scsi_Host_Template.
-
- * hosts.h: Add n_io_port to Scsi_Host (used when releasing module).

- for host, and or in SCSI_HOST_BLOCK bit. When decrementing usage
- count to 0, clear this bit to allow usage to continue, wake up
- processes waiting.
-
-
- * scsi_ioctl.c: If we have an info() function, call it, otherwise
- if we have a "name" field, use it, else do nothing.
