Btw, here's a little headsup for all maintainers of scsi host adapter drivers. In 2.5.47 the detect and release methods of the Scsi_Host_Template have become optional. If you had an old pci driver with the following loop in foo_detcect:
while ((pdev = pci_find_device())) { [do basic setup] sdev = scsi_register(); [do more setup] }
You can convert it easily into a new-style pci driver with the following probe routine:
[do basic setup] sdev = scsi_register(); [do more setup] return scsi_add_host();
Similarly a new routine, scsi_remove_host exist to call at the end of the remove routine.
