I am just trying to get a handle on what is driving this.
Well the code clean-up came as a pleasent side effect

We can still do that by trivially fixing a bit your code. You should first
check if the new inserted

uptodate .. pages ... never have data _older_ than on disk
This may actually be a problem in the future... what about shared access

Glad we got that in place, otherwise it would have been a long wasted night 8).
And just to follow up on my own mail, this patch works

Ok, there's a test9-pre3 there now..
The SCSI stuff is pretty straightforward, and it works for me (and I also
built a kernel with all regular x86-capable SCSI drivers included, so the
others got at least that level of testing). But there are some non-x86
scsi drivers out there etc, so give it
