My fault. Changes were in interaction with procfs. Which was _badly_ broken.
>From the drivers' POV the only change being: forget about proc_dir_entry,
leave ->proc_dir initialized with NULL and set ->proc_name to the string
constant (name of subdirectory in /proc/scsi). All you need to care about
is that any pair of drivers that can happen on the same box must have
different ->proc_name. _Always_ had to. So Amiga ESP-based cards went from
/proc/scsi/esp to /proc/scsi/esp-<driver_name>.
Another change: SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN returns host_no in place of driver
type.

No idea. Ask Linus and Alan.
