This (somewhat sizeable) patch to usb-storage does a couple of things.
Randy, please send this to linus for inclusion.
Note that this patch must be applied with -p1 to remove the (false)
usb-storage) prefix. This is because the patch was generated with CVS,
which knows this module as usb-storage (not storage). Does anyone know how
to rename a module?
Things this patch does:
(o) Introduces the driver for the HP8200e CD-Writer. This code is only
compiled in if a certain configuration option is defined (which isn't
even available yet -- that's for a future patch). This is experimental
code, and is _not_ compiled in by default.
(o) Improves debugging slightly by adding some command strings
(o) Fixes a bug where some bytes of 12-byte ATAPI commands were not getting
zeroed properly
(o) Fixed a bug in the allocated length of usb_stor_sense_notready[]
(o) Fixed a bug in the sleeping code to make the load average _not_
increase with every USB device. The control thread now sleeps properly
when not active.
(o) Removed some useless wrapper code from the control and bulk message
routines
That's about it. I realize introducing new code at this point is a bit
strange, but I should emphasize the point that it is _not_ compiled in by
default. The sub-option for usb-storage will indicate that this is
EXPERIMENTAL and will only be available if EXPERIMENTAL options are being
displayed.

It's not that hard. No matter what the problem is, tell the customer
to reinstall Windows.
