Linda Xie ever so gently pointed out that she had a patch
to preserve compatibility with older SLES targets, and I told
her we didn't need to push it to mainline.
This patch explicitly checks the version of the IBMVSCSI target
and ensures that large scatterlists are not sent to older
targets.

The maximum size of a scatter-gather list that the current IBM VSCSI
Client can handle is 10. This patch adds large scatter-gather support
to the client so that it is capable of handling up to SG_ALL(255)
number of requests in the scatter-gather list.

This patch fixes a long term borkenness in
ibmvscsi where we were using the wrong timeout
field from the scsi command (and using the
wrong units.) Now broken by the fact that the
scsi_cmnd timeout field is gone entirely.
This only worked before because all the SCSI
targets assumed that 0 was default.

With the removal of the spinlocking around eh calls, we need to add a
little more locking back in, otherwise we do some naked list
manipulation.

Fix the problem in IBM VSCSI Client where the client doesn't send the
information which is expected by the server.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
