[PATCH] Add Domain Validation to the SPI transport class
Domain Validation is a fairly essential element to the SCSI Parallel Interface (although if you look very few drivers actually do it). The premise is that the Parallel Bus, being a transmission line, might not be correctly tuned to the transfers you want do perform. DV probes the parameters of the transport until it finds a setting that works (for the interested, see http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/sdv/sdv-r08b.pdf) The current code employs rather simplistic DV heuristics, although those can be improved over time. The change in scsi_scan.c is so that DV may be done easily from the slave_configure routine, which is the most natural place to begin.
