9   Starting in the 8.0.17 release, the driver began to be targeted strictly
10   toward the upstream kernel. As such, we removed #ifdefs for older kernels
11   (pre 2.6.10). The 8.0.16 release should be used if the driver is to be
12   run on one of the older kernels.
14   The proposed modifications to the transport layer for FC remote ports
15   and extended attribute support is now part of the upstream kernel
28 The following information is provided for additional background on the
29 history of the driver as we push for upstream acceptance.
33   In older revisions of the lpfc driver, the driver internally queued i/o 
34   received from the midlayer. In the cases where a cable was pulled, link
36   being removed, a switch rebooting, or a device reboot), the driver could
37   hide the disappearance of the device from the midlayer. I/O's issued to
38   the LLDD would simply be queued for a short duration, allowing the device
40   to the system. If the driver did not hide these conditions, i/o would be
41   errored by the driver, the mid-layer would exhaust its retries, and the
43   re-enable the device.
47   queuing is unnecessary as the block layer already performs the 
48   queuing. Removing the queues from the LLDD makes a more predictable
51   As a potential new addition to kernel.org, the 8.x driver was asked to
53   In explaining the impacts of this change, Emulex has worked with the
54   community in modifying the behavior of the SCSI midlayer so that SCSI
58   The proposed patch was posted to the linux-scsi mailing list. The patch
59   is contained in the 2.6.10-rc2 (and later) patch kits. As such, this
60   patch is part of the standard 2.6.10 kernel.
62   By default, the driver expects the patches for block/unblock interfaces
63   to be present in the kernel. No #define needs to be set to enable support.
68   This source package is targeted for the upstream kernel only. (See notes
69   at the top of this file). It relies on interfaces that are slowing
70   migrating into the kernel.org kernel.
72   At this time, the driver requires the 2.6.12 (if pre-release, 2.6.12-rc1)
