Well, the NACK was not for the implementation details but rather the exported and documented interface. IIRC the rationale was that Dave wants to keep the sparc implementation super-optimized and avoid indirection. If it was up to me I'd have something like the parisc implementation in generic code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
