Hi all,

I will post two patches for the pvSCSI driver on following mails.

The patches add a new device assignment mode, which assigns whole HBA
(SCSI host) to guest domain. 

Current implementation requires SCSI command emulation on backend 
driver, and it causes limitations for some SCSI commands. The patches
eliminate such the limitations. 
(Please see 
"http://www.xen.org/files/xensummit_tokyo/24_Hitoshi%20Matsumoto_en.pdf";
for detail about why we need the new assignment mode.

Best regards,


-----
Jun Kamada
