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.
