Markus Lidel 57a62fed87 [PATCH] I2O: Bugfixes to get I2O working again
From: Markus Lidel <Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com>

- Fixed locking of struct i2o_exec_wait in Executive-OSM

- Removed LCT Notify in i2o_exec_probe() which caused freeing memory and
  accessing freed memory during first enumeration of I2O devices

- Added missing locking in i2o_exec_lct_notify()

- removed put_device() of I2O controller in i2o_iop_remove() which caused
  the controller structure get freed to early

- Fixed size of mempool in i2o_iop_alloc()

- Fixed access to freed memory in i2o_msg_get()

	This work was made possible by 

Red Hat Software
	Funding for the Building #3 part of the project

	compatibility problems

STATUS:

o	The core setup works within limits.
o	The scsi layer seems to almost work. 
           I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
o	The block OSM is mostly functional
o	LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.

TO DO:

General:
o	Provide hidden address space if asked
o	Long term message flow control
o	PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
o	Push FAIL handling into the core
o	DDM control interfaces for module load etc
o       Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)

Block:
o	Multiple major numbers
o	Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
o	Power management
o	Finish Media changers

SCSI:
o	Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses

Lan:	
o	Performance tuning
o	Test Fibre Channel code

Tape:
o	Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
           (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
