Replace the mac_esp driver with a new one based on the esp_scsi core.
For esp_scsi: add support for sync transfers for the PIO mode, add a new
esp_driver_ops method to get the maximum dma transfer size (like the old
NCR53C9x driver), and some cleanups.

This adds support to SCSI for enclosure services devices. It also makes
use of the enclosure services added in an earlier patch to display the
enclosure topology in sysfs.
At the moment, the enclosures are SAS specific, but if anyone actually
has a non-SAS enclosure that follows the SES-2 standard, we can add that
as well.
On my Vitesse based system, the enclosures show up like this:
sparkweed:~# ls -l /sys/class/enclosure/0\:0\:1\:0/

You can flash the various blinky lights by echoing to the fault and locate files.
>From the device's point of view, you can see it has an enclosure like this:

Note the enclosure_component:SLOT 001 which shows where in the enclosure
this device fits.
The astute will notice that I'm using SCSI VPD Inquiries to identify the
devices. This, unfortunately, won't work for SATA devices unless we do
some really nasty hacking about on the SAT because the only think that
knows the SAS addresses for SATA devices is libsas, not libata where the
SAT resides.

Currently scsi_wait_scan is only built modular if SCSI is modular.
However, it's perfectly possible for a built in SCSI still to have
modular drivers and thus need scsi_wait_scan as a module. Therefore,
scsi_wait_scan should always be built as a module (unless the kernel
doesn't support modules).

Since it often takes around 20-30 seconds to scan a scsi bus, it's
highly advantageous to do this in parallel with other things. The bulk
of this patch is ensuring that devices don't change numbering, and that
all devices are discovered prior to trying to start init. For those
who build SCSI as modules, there's a new scsi_wait_scan module that will
ensure all bus scans are finished.
This patch only handles drivers which call scsi_scan_host. Fibre Channel,
SAS, SATA, USB and Firewire all need additional work.

This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink.
It is a followup to the original RFC at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2
and the initial posting at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2
The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions
in the initial posting.
Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for
async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink
protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol,
which can then be used by all transports.
This patch:
- Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the
single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the
base SCSI subsystem intialization.
Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a
transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group).
- Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event
messages
- Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport:
fc_get_event_number() - to get a FC event #
fc_host_post_event() - to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data)
fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with
arbitrary amounts of data.
Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard
event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event.
Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed:

There is a lot of code duplcited between iscsi_tcp
and the upcoming iscsi_iser driver. This patch puts
the duplicated code in a lib. There is more code
to move around but this takes care of the
basics. For iscsi_offload if they use the lib we will
probably move some things around. For example in the
queuecommand we will not assume that the LLD wants
to do queue_work, but it is better to handle that
later when we know for sure what iscsi_offload looks
like (we could probably do this for iscsi_iser though to).
Ideally I would like to get the iscsi_transports modules
to a place where all they really have to do is put data
on the wire, but how to do that will hopefully be more clear
when we see other modules like iscsi_offload. Or maybe
iscsi_offload will not use the lib and it will just be
iscsi_iser and iscsi_tcp and maybe the iscsi_tcp_tgt if that
is allowed in mainline.

The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
interfaces to userspace.
In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
two additional intermediate objects: The SAS PHY as represented by struct
sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
SAS Expander or end device. Note that this is purely a software concept, the
underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.
There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
for all PHYs in a port.
This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
phase2 after this submission. In a third phase I will add additional
managment infrastructure.
I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are
of course very welcome.
I'd like to thanks James Smart a lot for his very useful input on the
