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.
