Hello,

Set of patches that follow this email facilitate movement of hardware
handlers from dm layer to SCSI layer.

Previous set of patches that implemented this was posted on Mar 10:
http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=120519925915390&w=2

Changes have been made based on (1)test results from Dave and
(2)discussions with Jens and James:
 - Make sure scsi_dh compiles as a modules when scsi is compiled as a
   module.
 - Set REQ_QUIET flag in the request in rdac hardware handler's prep_fn,
   if the path is the passive path (to reduce the extraneous error
   messages).
 
Patches are created on top of 2.6.25-rc5-mm1.

Testing has been done with the following storage devices:
 - IBM DS4800 storage device for the lsi_rdac hardware handler
 - HP storage device for the hp_sw hardware handler.
   Thanks to Dave(dwysocha at redhat.com)
 - EMC storage device for the EMC hardware handler.
   Thanks to Arthur(Benoit_Arthur at emc.com) and Ronald(asson_ronald at emc.com)
In effect all hardware handlers are tested.

Thanks,

chandra
