Subject: Kernel change summary 1.1.27 -> 1.1.28
Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.development

Improved sardonic lp error message.  Some over-literal person must have
	gotten one.
Remember the pointer to the driver for serial drivers.
NFS buffer file size was just a little too big.
Handle dead sockets properly in /proc/net/{tcp,udp,raw}.
Include TCP fastpath again.
Add a missing release_sock call.

SCSI changes from Eric Youngdale:

	More changes to eventually support loadable modules.  Mainly
	we want to use linked lists instead of arrays because it is easier
	to dynamically add and remove things this way.

	Quite a bit more work is needed before loadable modules are
	possible (and usable) with scsi, but this is most of the grunge
	work.

	* Linux 1.1.28 released.

	* scsi.c, scsi.h (allocate_device, request_queueable): Change
	argument from index into scsi_devices to a pointer to the
	Scsi_Device struct.

	* Throughout: Change all calls to allocate_device,
	request_queueable to use new calling sequence.

	* Throughout: Use SCpnt->device instead of
	scsi_devices[SCpnt->index].  Ugh - the pointer was there all along
	- much cleaner this way.

	* scsi.c (scsi_init_malloc, scsi_free_malloc): New functions -
	allow us to pretend that we have a working malloc when we
	initialize.  Use this instead of passing memory_start, memory_end
	around all over the place.

	* scsi.h, st.c, sr.c, sd.c, sg.c: Change *_init1 functions to use
	scsi_init_malloc, remove all arguments, no return value.

	* scsi.h: Remove index field from Scsi_Device and Scsi_Cmnd
	structs.

	* scsi.c (scsi_dev_init): Set up for scsi_init_malloc.
	(scan_scsis): Get SDpnt from scsi_init_malloc, and refresh
	when we discover a device.  Free pointer before returning.
	Change scsi_devices into a linked list.

	* scsi.c (scan_scsis): Change to only scan one host. 
	(scsi_dev_init): Loop over all detected hosts, and scan them.

	* hosts.c  (scsi_init_free): Change so that  number of extra bytes
	is stored in struct, and we do not have to pass it each time.

	* hosts.h: Change Scsi_Host_Template struct to include "next" and
	"release" functions.  Initialize to NULL in all low level
	adapters.

	* hosts.c: Rename scsi_hosts to builtin_scsi_hosts, create linked
	list scsi_hosts, linked together with the new "next" field.
