SCSI fixes for 2.6.25-rc8

This patch constitutes three bug fixes (the reversion of the BSG queue fix is the most serious; without it we're getting eventual corruption in systems). The other two fix error legs or misleading reporting. The remaining 8 patches are all updates to the mvsas driver which was a late addition at the -rc1 phase, so while they're not truly bug fixes, they are enhancements to make that unreleased driver more roubust for 2.6.25.

The patch is here:

master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-rc-fixes-2.6.git

The short changelog is:

James Bottomley (2):
libsas: Warn if ATA device detected but CONFIG_SCSI_SAS_ATA not set Revert " fix bsg queue oops with iscsi logout"

James Smart (1):
hosts.c: fixes for "no error" reported after error scenarios

Ke Wei (8):
mvsas: check subsystem id
mvsas: get phy info.

Does this mean that we still have the iscsi logout bug if used from bsg in 2.6.25 kernel? I just want to know what are the out-of-tree patches I will need. Will the proper fix be candidate for the stable releases of 2.6.25?

Thanks
