The idea behind a RAID class is to provide a uniform interface to all
RAID subsystems (both hardware and software) in the kernel.
To do that, I've made this class a transport class that's entirely
subsystem independent (although the matching routines have to match per
subsystem, as you'll see looking at the code). I put it in the scsi
subdirectory purely because I needed somewhere to play with it, but it's
not a scsi specific module.
I used a fusion raid card as the test bed for this; with that kind of
card, this is the type of class output you get:
jejb@titanic> ls -l /sys/class/raid_devices/20\:0\:0\:0/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 component-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:0/20:1:0:0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 component-1 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:1/20:1:1:0/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 16 17:21 device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:0:0/20:0:0:0/
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 level
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 resync
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 state
So it's really simple: for a SCSI device representing a hardware raid,
it shows the raid level, the array state, the resync % complete (if the
state is resyncing) and the underlying components of the RAID (these are
exposed in fusion on the virtual channel 1).
As you can see, this type of information can be exported by almost
anything, including software raid.
The more difficult trick, of course, is going to be getting it to
perform configuration type actions with writable attributes.

SCSI=m must disallow static drivers.
The problem is that all the SATA drivers depend on SCSI_SATA.
With SCSI=m and SCSI_SATA=y this allows the static enabling of the SATA
drivers with unwanted effects, e.g.:
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA is built statically but scsi/built-in.o is not linked
into the kernel
- SCSI=m, SCSI_SATA=y, SCSI_ATA_ADMA=y, SCSI_SATA_AHCI=m
-> SCSI_ATA_ADMA and libata are built statically but
scsi/built-in.o is not linked into the kernel,
SCSI_SATA_AHCI is built modular (unresolved symbols due to missing
libata)

M68k: Mark Sun-3 NCR5380 SCSI broken until NCR5380_abort() and
NCR5380_bus_reset() are replaced with real new-style EH routines (the old EH
SCSI constants were removed in 2.6.12-rc3).

Both drivers are marked broken and haven't compiled since very early
2.5.x. And they're for IDE hardware so they shouldn't have been
written to the SCSI layer at all.

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!
