These driver files are initially, substantially similar to mpt2sas but,
because mpt2sas is going into maintenance mode and mp3sas will become heavily
developed, we elected to keep the code bases separate.

scsi_wait_scan was introduced with asynchronous host scanning as a hack
for distributions that weren't using proper udev based wait for root to
appear in their initramfs scripts.  In 2.6.30 Commit

Date:   Sun Apr 12 20:06:56 2009 +0200

    PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume

Actually broke scsi_wait_scan because it renders
scsi_complete_async_scans() a nop for modular SCSI if you include
scsi_scans.h (which this module does).

The lack of bug reports is sufficient proof that this module is no
longer used.

The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.

This commit removes the MCA specific SCSI drivers, and the
MCA specific portions of code in dual role ISA/MCA drivers.
Also, the MCA specific SCSI documentation is removed.

  I'm afraid, with me moving continents at exactly the wrong time,
  anything submitted after the merge window opened has been held over to

This patch adds support for Universal Flash Storage(UFS)
host controllers. The UFS host controller driver
includes host controller initialization method.

The Initialization process involves following steps:
 - Initiate UFS Host Controller initialization process by writing
   to Host controller enable register
 - Configure UFS Host controller registers with host memory space
   datastructure offsets.
 - Unipro link startup procedure
 - Check for connected device
 - Configure UFS host controller to process requests
 - Enable required interrupts
 - Configure interrupt aggregation

The virtio-scsi HBA is the basis of an alternative storage stack
for QEMU-based virtual machines (including KVM).  Compared to
virtio-blk it is more scalable, because it supports many LUNs
on a single PCI slot), more powerful (it more easily supports
passthrough of host devices to the guest) and more easily
extensible (new SCSI features implemented by QEMU should not
require updating the driver in the guest).

The storage driver (storvsc_drv.c) handles all block storage devices
assigned to Linux guests hosted on Hyper-V. This driver has been in the
staging tree for a while and this patch moves it out of the staging area.

James was willing to apply this patch during the 3.3-rc phase and a decision
was taken to defer this to 3.4 since Greg had queued up a bunch of storvsc
patches for 3.4. Now that Greg has applied all of the pending storvsc patches,
I am sending this patch to move this driver out of staging. Based on James'
recommendation, this patch gets rid of the unneeded files in the staging/hv
directory.

The storage driver (storvsc_drv.c) handles all block storage devices
assigned to Linux guests hosted on Hyper-V. This driver has been in the
staging tree for a while and this patch moves it out of the staging area.

James was willing to apply this patch during the 3.3-rc phase and a decision
was taken to defer this to 3.4 since Greg had queued up a bunch of storvsc
patches for 3.4. Now that Greg has applied all of the pending storvsc patches,
I am sending this patch to move this driver out of staging. Based on James'
recommendation, this patch gets rid of the unneeded files in the staging/hv
directory.
