+Release Date   : Mon Mar 07 12:27:22 EST 2005 - Seokmann Ju <sju@lsil.com>
+Current Version : 2.20.4.6 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version  : 2.20.4.5 (scsi module), 2.20.2.5 (cmm module)
+
+1.     Added IOCTL backward compatibility.
+       Convert megaraid_mm driver to new compat_ioctl entry points.
+       I don't have easy access to hardware, so only compile tested.
+               - Signed-off-by:Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
+
+2.     megaraid_mbox fix: wrong order of arguments in memset()
+       That, BTW, shows why cross-builds are useful-the only indication of
+       problem had been a new warning showing up in sparse output on alpha
+       build (number of exceeding 256 got truncated).
+               - Signed-off-by: Al Viro
+               <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk>
+
+3.     Convert pci_module_init to pci_register_driver
+       Convert from pci_module_init to pci_register_driver
+       (from:http://kerneljanitors.org/TODO)
+               - Signed-off-by: Domen Puncer <domen@coderock.org>
+
+4.     Use the pre defined DMA mask constants from dma-mapping.h
+       Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling
+       pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistend_dma_mask(). See
+       http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108001993000001&r=1&w=2 for more
+       details.

+
+5.     Remove SSID checking for Dobson, Lindsay, and Verde based products.
+       Checking the SSVID/SSID for controllers which have Dobson, Lindsay,
+       and Verde is unnecessary because device ID has been assigned by LSI
+       and it is unique value. So, all controllers with these IOPs have to be
+       supported by the driver regardless SSVID/SSID.

+       From Herbert Poetzl <> 
+       Subject RFC: assert_spin_locked() for 2.6 
+
+       Greetings!
+
+       overcautious programming will kill your kernel ;)
+       ever thought about checking a spin_lock or even
+       asserting that it must be held (maybe just for
+       spinlock debugging?) ...
+
+       there are several checks present in the kernel
+       where somebody does a variation on the following:
+
+         BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&some_lock));
+
+       so what's wrong about that? nothing, unless you
+       compile the code with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK but 
+       without CONFIG_SMP ... in which case the BUG()
+       will kill your kernel ...
+
+       maybe it's not advised to make such assertions, 
+       but here is a solution which works for me ...
+       (compile tested for sh, x86_64 and x86, boot/run
+       tested for x86 only)
+
+       best,
+       Herbert
