yes, your updates compile nicely.

I have had a chance to test the new code with our servers - at first I  
ran into severe problems under load, which were fixed by using the  
latest QLA25xx firmware. openSUSE ships 8.6.0, leading to severe  
"scst: TM fn ABORT_TASK/0" errors on the target side. Using the latest  
8.7.0 firmware from QLogic on the SCST servers, I got the some  
configuration to work nicely. You may want to update the QLogic target  
driver howto accordingly (currently it just states "It is strongly  
recommended to use firmware version 5.x or higher for 24xx/25xx  
adapters.").

me neither, nor do I use it. I just mentioned it for completeness sake  
- it someone wants to use this with openSUSE Leap 42.3, (s)he better  
be prepared for some code fixes.

For me, it's a "case closed" - our servers are now updated and  
working. Thank you!
