I added those two to factor out common code from the upper drivers
a long time ago, but after Doug & Lubens nice work there's nothing
left but incrementing/decrementing a counter in struct scsi_device
that's never used except in the case were we not it must be NULL
because we just walked the chain of drivers to detach every single
one..

Use the new dev_printk.

Thanks go to Mike Christie who originally
created this patch.

This is the proper way to report if the interrupt
was from a serveraid or not.

Oookay - I really got upset by that tmeplates in headers crap when
grepping for certain methods.  The patch below moves all templates
from the headers into the actual implementation files and removes
the ifdef mess for unmaintained drivers - for maintained support
gazillion kernel releases drivers like gdth I've kept them.

This means a driver works fine without any problems for all modular
builds and builtin kernel >= 2.4.0.  If you want certain drivers
to work with 2.0/2.2 statyic builds too I can hack something up for
you, but I'd prefer not supporting stuff like that anymore.

Tested by compiling all drivers with make -k and not getting more
warnings than before :)

- Remove some 2.4 compatibility macros
- Fix userspace pointer misuse in video1394 ioctl. Caught by the
  Stanford Checker. Gotta love the automated systems.
- Move our hotplug stuff around, to make the transition to putting our
  module dev table in mod_devicetable.h.
- Fix ohci1394 for possible crash with async stream packets. Cleaned up
  some debug messages.

This fixes two bugs introduced by some 2.5 changes:

- O_NDELAY handling typo in floppy_open()

- handling of failed transfers in floppy_end_request()
  (do equivalent of what 2.4 does)

Without first fix I was getting "floppy0: disk absent or changed during
operation" infinite loop on opening and without second fix, infinite loop
on error retry.

Now floppy driver seems to be (somehow) working :-).

This file was _the_ header for block-device related stuff in earlier
Linux versions, but nowdays there's just a few prototypes left that
really belong into blkdev.h or genhd.h (and in one case elevator.h).

This patch moves them over and removes everything but including
blkdev.h from blk.h  Note that blkdev.h gets all the headers that
were included in blk.h inmplicitly too.  Now we can start removing
all references to it an maybe kill it off before 2.6.  *sniff*

This adds ieee1394 for module table registration.

This fixes the compat_ioctl interface for the case where a NULL handler
is registered. This should produce a "compatible" as opposed to
"translated" interface for the specified ioctl. The patch was sent to
linux-kernel and no one complained (atleast with this second rev).

Currently __bdevname walks the obsolete list of block majors to
find a name for the given dev_t and falls back to unknown-block(%u,%u)
if that's not possible.  Replace this with an attempted get_gendisk() +
disk_name.  This means __bdevname can't be called from irq context
anymore, but as all old irq context callers are using bdevname() now
that fine (and I've added a big comment).

 - both rpciod_up and rpciod_down do a gratious inc/dec of the
   use count - but we can't ever be inside those function unless
   it's called from an other module -> totally useless
 - rpciod() (the kernel thread) also bumps the refcount when starting
   and decrements it when exiting.  but as a different module must
   initiate this using rpciod_up/rpciod_down this is again not needed.
   (except when a module does rpciod_up without a matching rpciod_down -
   but that a big bug anyway and we don't need to partially handle that
   using module refcounts).
