Compiled here but didn't link (SMP) :-(

There are over 30 scsi subsystem patches backed up in
your tree. Some are over 2 months old. Could
some (or perhaps all) of them get promoted to the
main tree? It is very difficult to write further patches
against the scsi subsystem with this sort of backlog.

Other subsystems (e.g. usb and ieee1394) might appreciate
some of those changes since they asked for them.
