I haven't looked closely but I've noticed that these fixes are accessing rq->bio directly which is a layering violation. Could you de-bio and submit them? [ AFAIR they are already splitted out in RHEL4 ]
Speaking about ide-scsi, it will be undeprecated after I fix the locking. Rationale is that ide-scsi is _much_ simpler than ide-{cd,tape}. [ although it doesn't support all the hardware that ide-{cd,tape} do ]
