what to do with dpt_i2o
Marcus, you'd been doing a lot of testing with the DPT/Adaptec cards for the new i2o layer, right? IIRC we now have both support for the Adaptec managment utils and the optimizes sglist format, so there's probably no reason anymore to keep dpt_i2o.
If OTOH we want to keep it it would be nice of Mark could finally send the last round of patches we had agreed on..

Maybe i should list some remaining issues:
- 64 bit Scatter Gather elements
- supports hot-changing of devices, and array changes without a reboot.
The second one is implemented, but didn't work on my system. I didn't have the time to verify if the dpt_i2o driver recognize it if a drive fails.
Best regards,
