I'm a bit reluctant to apply the A3000 SCSI platform device conversion without
having received any feedback, and I would like to apply the whole series ASAP.
Did anyone try on A3000/A3000T? Similar changes are needed to convert the
A2091 and GVP II SCSI drivers to the zorro_driver model, so if we have
more users
of those, I can do that conversion first, so it can receive some testing.

Thx!
