Patches like this aren't acceptable any more: Greg will find this and reject it from Stable. If there's a bug in the driver, it needs to be in a separate patch set for the fixes branch of SCSI to go upstream now rather than waiting for the merge window. Only patches for the fixes branch can be tagged for stable.
