The device limit of 128 tape drives was established in 2003 as a
significant increase from the 8 tape drives allowed previously.
We're seeing customer sites that between a large number of drives
and multipath are discovering more than 128 devices and running
into problems.
Now that we're not stuck having to store a pointer in array
and aren't limited by kmalloc failing on higher order allocs we can
lift the limit to fill the entire minor range based on the number
of modes.
Based on the current code, that's 2^17 devices.

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").
* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA
The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.
This commit removes the MCA specific SCSI drivers, and the
MCA specific portions of code in dual role ISA/MCA drivers.
Also, the MCA specific SCSI documentation is removed.

The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes
a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI
returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup
software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives.
Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl,
this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return
immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag
is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform
writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only
applies to writing EOFs.
This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using
the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag.
Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options"
attribute.
The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well
as the problems that can occur from using it.

Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.
The interface supports the following operations:
On an fc_host basis:
Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
On an fc_rport basis:
Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.
The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
include/scsi/scsi.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h

Re: scsi_fc_transport.txt
Add a function prototype for fc_vport_terminate similar to what's

Re: fc_vport_create
I recommend we pass the channel number in fc_vport_create rather
than fixing it at zero.
Also, ids->vport_type should be set to FC_PORTTYPE_NPIV prior to
calling fc_vport_create. The comment is also meaningless.

This updates steeleye -> hansenpartnership in the documentation since
some email has been going astray because of this.

The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.
We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

Most code changes were made to support adapters based on Marvell IOP, plus some
other fixes.
- add more PCI device IDs
- support for adapters based on Marvell IOP
- fix a result code translation error on big-endian systems
- fix resource releasing bug when scsi_host_alloc() fail in hptiop_probe()
- update scsi_cmnd.resid when finishing a request
- correct some coding style issues

Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
power management policy to "min_power".
Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
(enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
enable whatever power management policy the user set up
for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
This power management policy will be activated after all
disks have been enumerated and intialized. Drivers should
also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
management, but not change link power management policy.
Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional
information.

With sysfs making these options tunable at runtime, there's no
justification for keeping this horrendously complex specification
string around.

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.
Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.
