Second problem seems to be that the extras/ dir missed the executable
bit..

Here's some patches for you:

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA1-kconfig-b7

use select for CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX, shorten the name
of the failover option, sanitize kconfig texts.

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA2-noioctl-b7

make ioctl code optional. this is a bit ugly because
sometimes we use defines from exioct.h in non-ioctl
related code. Btw, is it just me or is the ioctl code
never called actually?

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA3-down_timeout-b7

use a common and simpler variant of the down with timeout
scheme. We should probably try to get a proper down_timeout
as this one still is quite suboptimal..

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA4-module_param-b7

use new-style module_param() everywhere (works also for
the compiled-in case). The paramter naming is quite
inconsistant and you have global variables like Bind
that might cause quite some trouble in the non-modular
case. You should probably switch to module_param_named
to always use nice lower_case, descriptive names
(without the ql2x prefix) and map them to variables with
a driver-prefix.

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA5-dbg-b7

Move some debug defines from qla_def.h to qla_dbg.h

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA6-kmem_zalloc-b7

Use kmalloc directly instead of qla2xxx_kmem_zalloc and
associated wrappers.

http://verein.lst.de/~hch/qla/QLA7-misc-b7

Misc changes that don't affect generated code.
