This patch started life as as479b, and has been rediffed. Please note
the order of submission of this latest patch series -- even tho this has
an older original number, it is the last patch I'll be sending today.
This patch changes the reported SCSI revision level to 2 for all
disk-type devices. This is needed in a few cases because the device
reports a level of 3 or higher but then crashes when given a REPORT LUNS
command (for which support is supposed to be mandatory at those levels).
This shouldn't harm us, since it only matters for sparse LUNs and we
have separate ways of coping with that.

This patch started life as as527, and was rediffed by me.
Since the IDE interface doesn't convey much information about types of
errors, many USB-IDE adapters report all low-level errors with SK = 0x04,
which is supposed to be used only for non-recoverable errors. As a result
the SCSI midlayer doesn't retry the command. But quite often a retry
would succeed, whereas an unnecessary retry doesn't really hurt anything.
This patch uses a recently-implemented flag to tell the SCSI midlayer that
such hardware errors should be retried.

This patch causes a port reset whenever there's a transport error or abort.
If that fails it reverts back to doing a mass-storage device reset. It
started life as as497 and was rediffed by me.
This makes error recovery a lot quicker and more reliable.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
