Since it's sitting in SCSI, at least the libosd piece belongs over the
SCSI mailing list, so I think it makes sense to continue updating it via
the SCSI tree.

What's the status of the major number request from LANANA. That's patch
number one, and I haven't heard that they've confirmed the selection of
260 yet; or is LANANA now dead and it's who gets the major into the tree
first?
