The real root cause of all of this is that there's no tree I can
persuade all the interested parties to test that includes all of these
features. In spite of the fact they've all been incubating in -mm for
at least 3 months, no-one apparently tested all the features together
until 2.6.23-rc1 was released, so then we're scrambling to address the
issues as they arise.
I pulled git-scsi-misc on July 19 and there was no bsg code in there at
all. I pulled again on July 20 and all the bsg code was in mainline. So
it appears that the bsg code went mailing-list -> mainline in less than 24
hours, so there wasn't a lot of opportunity for -mm testing there.

bsg was merged via Jens' branch. After that, I asked James to send
some fixes via the scsi-rc-fixes.

ISTR that Jens doesn't regularly push / get picked up by -mm? That seems like an easy problem to solve.
