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.

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.

This patch adds support for Universal Flash Storage(UFS)
host controllers. The UFS host controller driver
includes host controller initialization method.
The Initialization process involves following steps:
- Initiate UFS Host Controller initialization process by writing
to Host controller enable register
- Configure UFS Host controller registers with host memory space
datastructure offsets.
- Unipro link startup procedure
- Check for connected device
- Configure UFS host controller to process requests
- Enable required interrupts
- Configure interrupt aggregation

Arrange for the deallocation of a struct domain_device object when it no
longer has:
1/ any children
2/ references by any scsi_targets
3/ references by a lldd
The comment about domain_device lifetime in
Documentation/scsi/libsas.txt is stale as it appears mainline never had
a version of a struct domain_device that was registered as a kobject.
We now manage domain_device reference counts on behalf of external
agents.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the

This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
and actually reset the controller. For kdump to work properly it
is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored. This
attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.
