Here is one fix and one enhancement to the scsi generic (sg)
driver in 2.5.14
Changelog:
    - off by one fix for last scatter gather element
    - if possible compact kiobuf_map into scatter gather list

This is the OnStream variant of the st driver that
has been in Dave's tree for some time.

The change looks like it is from Willem Riede (osst@riede.org)
and that it has been forwarded ported from lk 2.4 .

This ISA scsi adapter still seems to be popular
given the number of people that supply patches
for it collected in Dave's tree.

The latest patch was from William Stinson (first item):
  - request_region cleanup
  - removal of old scsi error handling (leaving newer version)
  - scatterlist::address replaced
  - host_lock replacing io_request_lock

P.S. This is a transfer from Dave's tree. It runs fine for
me on a dual Celeron SMP box.

after the manual merge of the PCI re-organization
removed it.

The largest part of the OSS update from 2.4
Various changelog entries scattered throughout the patch.

From 2.4
- Lindented
- Add Docbook comments
- Remove duplicate MODULE_LICENSE tag

The PNPBIOS driver and the floppy driver both fight over reservation
of the floppy port. This patch makes things friendly again.
As the comment suggests, this fix could be done better, but until
someone steps forward to fix this, this is the best we have.

copy_to_user already does the relevant checking.

Done by William Stinson.
Adds error handling to request_region() calls,
and converts some old check_region() calls too.

This patch from 2.4 makes sure we don't prefetch past the
end of a range to be copied (in case its at the end of a memrange)
i386 case looks safe already, we just weren't optimal for the last
chunk to be copied.

Andi. same change needed for x86-64.

    Dave.

This makes sure we only apply it on the right chipsets,
and adjusts the bits that get poked depending on which we find.
