Hi,

I'm not sure that this step is needed.
The whole pci-dma-compat.h is close to be obsolete. So axing just a part 
of it now is not that really useful.

After many patches, there is now just a few users of this deprecated 
API. All steps to finalize the job have already been posted [1] and a 
plan has been proposed by Arnd Bergmann to have the remaining ones 
merged in the tree [2].

Some of the message/fusion patches have been re-sent yesterday and today 
to the scsi maintainer in order to have them merged.

BTW, Cai Huoqing, thanks a lot for taking care and proposing the needed 
clean-ups in comments and log messages.
Looking at it was the next item of my to-do list, but I'm really pleased 
to get some help here to finalize the job once and for all.
