+Release Date : Mon Mar 07 12:27:22 EST 2005 - Seokmann Ju <sju@lsil.com>
+Current Version : 2.20.4.6 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version : 2.20.4.5 (scsi module), 2.20.2.5 (cmm module)
+
+1. Added IOCTL backward compatibility.
+ Convert megaraid_mm driver to new compat_ioctl entry points.
+ I don't have easy access to hardware, so only compile tested.
+ - Signed-off-by:Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
+
+2. megaraid_mbox fix: wrong order of arguments in memset()
+ That, BTW, shows why cross-builds are useful-the only indication of
+ problem had been a new warning showing up in sparse output on alpha
+ build (number of exceeding 256 got truncated).
+ - Signed-off-by: Al Viro
+ <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
+
+3. Convert pci_module_init to pci_register_driver
+ Convert from pci_module_init to pci_register_driver
+ (from:http://kerneljanitors.org/TODO)
+ - Signed-off-by: Domen Puncer <domen@coderock.org>
+
+4. Use the pre defined DMA mask constants from dma-mapping.h
+ Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling
+ pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistend_dma_mask(). See
+ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108001993000001&r=1&w=2 for more
+ details.

+
+5. Remove SSID checking for Dobson, Lindsay, and Verde based products.
+ Checking the SSVID/SSID for controllers which have Dobson, Lindsay,
+ and Verde is unnecessary because device ID has been assigned by LSI
+ and it is unique value. So, all controllers with these IOPs have to be
+ supported by the driver regardless SSVID/SSID.

+ From Herbert Poetzl <>
+ Subject RFC: assert_spin_locked() for 2.6
+
+ Greetings!
+
+ overcautious programming will kill your kernel ;)
+ ever thought about checking a spin_lock or even
+ asserting that it must be held (maybe just for
+ spinlock debugging?) ...
+
+ there are several checks present in the kernel
+ where somebody does a variation on the following:
+
+ BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&some_lock));
+
+ so what's wrong about that? nothing, unless you
+ compile the code with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK but
+ without CONFIG_SMP ... in which case the BUG()
+ will kill your kernel ...
+
+ maybe it's not advised to make such assertions,
+ but here is a solution which works for me ...
+ (compile tested for sh, x86_64 and x86, boot/run
+ tested for x86 only)
+
+ best,
+ Herbert
