One of the issues we had was reverting the midlayers lun value
into the 8byte lun value that we wanted to send to the device.
Historically, there's been some combination of byte swapping,
setting high/low, etc. There's also been no common thread between
how our driver did it and others. I also got very confused as
to why byteswap routines were being used.
Anyway, this patch is a LLDD-callable function that reverts the
midlayer's lun value, stored in an int, to the 8-byte quantity
(note: this is not the real 8byte quantity, just the same amount
that scsilun_to_int() was able to convert and store originally).
This also solves the dilemma of the thread:

A patch for the lpfc driver to use this function will be along
in a few days (batched with other patches).

This gives the HBA driver notice when a target is created and
destroyed to allow it to manage its own target based allocations
accordingly.
This is a much reduced verson of the original patch sent in by

This patch removes volatile qualifier from scsi_device->device_busy,
Scsi_Host->host_busy and ->host_failed as the volatile qualifiers
don't serve any purpose now. While at it, convert those fields from
unsigned short to unsigned int as suggested by Christoph.

- add a comment to the device structure that the device_busy field
is now protected by the request_queue->queue_lock
- null out sdev->request_queue after the queue is released to trap
any (and there shouldn't be any) use after the queue is freed.

The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the
SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device
release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again.
The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue.

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!
