Hi James,

this is the (hopefully final) update to my scsi_dh patchset.
Features are:

- Move device-table matching into the device_handler infrastructure,
 so that individual drivers don't have to implement it themselves
- Adds a 'dh_state' sysfs attribute for manually attaching device
 handler to new or unknown disks; this allows to override the
 internal device tables
- Update the dm-multipath code to attach the device handler
 specified in the multipath configuration
- Add a cache to speed up lookup of several identical devices
- Update existing EMC, RDAC, and hp_sw device handler to use
 the new infrastructure
- Add new SPC-3 ALUA device handler

The NetApp device handler has been left out for now as it's still
under development.

Please apply.

Cheers,

Hannes
