Changes in version 1.73:
  - 'num_parts' parameter to specify 0 to 4 partitions
  - 'ptype' to specify (or change via sysfs) SCSI
    peripheral device type
  - support ability to increase the number of targets
    and/or luns then re-scan a scsi_debug host
  - remove redundant trailing spaces

The new facilties are described at:

A tarball of driver (version 1.73) is also there.

If the driver doesn't update the peroid, we go
around forever.  The fix is to keep our old period
unless the driver returns a greater one.

This sounds like a better solution.

Since arg is a user pointer, so are uioc_mimd and uiocp, and hence umc is a
user pointer.  Thus reading umc->xferaddr requires dereferencing a user
pointer, which isn't safe.

Ok, attached is version 3:-) It also fixes a definite (although, perhaps,
harmless) bug in scsiiom.c. And removes a redundant assignment in
tmscsim.c.

 - qlogicfc.c abuses SCSI_TIEMOUT although it's not part of the scsi
   core, give it it's own ISP_TIMEOUT define
 - avoid redefining timeouts #ifdef DEBUG, that's a cause for heisenbugs
   just waiting to happen
 - now SCSI_TIMEOUT is private to scsi_scan.c, move it there

Some filesystems can get overflows when their link-count exceeds

This patch results in too much idle time under certain
loads, and while that is being looked into we're better
off just reverting the change.

This patch fixes orphaned expectations, which can occur when helpers create
expectations for unconfirmed conntracks and the packet is dropped before
the conntrack is confirmed.

Tracked down by Raivis Bucis <raivis@mt.lv>

This patch fixes an oops while listing /proc/net/ip_conntrack.

When a helper sets up expectations based on the first packet (tftp),
NAT can still change the packet and cause conntrack to look for a new helper
based on the new tuple. When no helper is found, expectant->helper will be
NULL, which leads to an oops in print_expect().
 
Only assign a new helper in ip_conntrack_alter_reply() if there are no
expectations.

nfs_writepage() refuses to write back mapped pages at all on the page
reclaim path, causing systems to get locked up when there's a lot of dirty
mmapped data around.  The patch changes NFS so that it will start I/O
against these pages.

The code as it stands is designed to defer writeout to pdflush which can do
larger, more efficient I/Os.  But there shouldn't be much traffic by this
path, and going slow is better than not going at all.

Patch originally from Trond.

VIA chipsets are broken and don't work with IOMMU enabled. For some mysterious
reason (the IOMMU logic is actually in the CPU) they manage to corrupt all
data going through the aperture to PCI devices.

There was a workaround previously that enabled the slower softmmu when VIA is 
detected on the normal IOMMU path (when there is more than 3GB of memory). But
CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG took a short cut that was not handled, which ended up with 
VIA systems not booting when this option is enabled.

This patch enables the workaround with CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG/iommu=force too
