Subject: ide-tape: remove tape->cache_stage
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1029^2~42
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f64eee7bb2819da5506a2db5b6297612a17eb3f8;p=linux-2.6

ide-tape: remove tape->cache_stage

Prior to allocating a new pipeline stage, the code checked for the existence of
a cached pipeline stage to use. Do away with and stick to normal pipeline
stages only.

[bart: keep idetape_kmalloc_stage() for now]
