Hopefully it will be useful, it has assisted us a great deal in
consolidating onto a common driver base.

Yes, adding the sqa_1.1-3.10-complete.patch, and recompiling will
yield an implementation, except for the target name, very similar in
functionality to the qla2x00t driver.

The other three patches were broken out in the event that
users/implementors would desire to review the functionality of the
components in the rollup patch.  The qlogic-mode.patch is optional but
sets the Qlogic driver to function in 'exclusive' mode which is most
similar to the way the qla2x00t works.  By default the in-kernel
Qlogic driver comes up with target mode disabled on all ports.

The 'qlogic-cb.patch' is required since it provides the callback
interface which allows the driver to determine which interfaces (vha's
if you will) have target mode available.

The 'sqa_1.1-3.10-complete.patch' is provided for those who desire the
roll-and-go option.

Good luck with your efforts.

Have a good remainder of the week.
