This should be the final SCSI updates; it's mainly just a few accessor
completion updates and two driver merges (sym2 and qla2xxx) we also
secured DaveM's agreement to remove fcal/fc4, which explains the high
removal line count.

The patch is available here:

I guess I have the go-ahead to merge the end-CDROM-polling async notification work you've been repeatedly ignoring?

I haven't been ignoring it ... it just needs quite a bit of work; the
best way to accelerate it seems to be simply to do it (add the
supported/trigger event bitmasks and expand the infrastructure). I just
haven't had the time within the merge window.

James, things cannot get bottlenecked like this. You have had MONTHS to say something like this. The code was ready BEFORE the merge window.

I really think you have the knowledge to be SCSI maintainer, but not the time.
