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!

CREDITS
This work was made possible by
Red Hat Software Funding for the Building #3 part of the project
Symbios Logic (Now LSI) Host adapters, hints, known to work platforms when I hit compatibility problems
BoxHill Corporation Loan of initial FibreChannel disk array used for development work.
European Comission Funding the work done by the University of Helsinki
SysKonnect Loan of FDDI and Gigabit Ethernet cards
ASUSTeK Loan of I2O motherboard
STATUS:
o The core setup works within limits. o The scsi layer seems to almost work. I'm still chasing down the hang bug. o The block OSM is mostly functional o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
TO DO:
General: o Provide hidden address space if asked o Long term message flow control o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet o Push FAIL handling into the core o DDM control interfaces for module load etc o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
Block: o Multiple major numbers o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people o Power management o Finish Media changers
SCSI: o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
Lan: o Performance tuning o Test Fibre Channel code
Tape: o Anyone seen anything implementing this ? (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
