Subject: [PATCH 00/16] raid acceleration and asynchronous offload api for
	2.6.22

I am pleased to release this latest spin of the raid acceleration
patches for merge consideration.  This release aims to address all
pending review items including MD bug fixes and async_tx api changes
from Neil, and concerns on channel management from Chris and others.

Data integrity tests using home grown scripts and 'iozone -V' are
passing.  I am open to suggestions for additional testing criteria.  I
have also verified that git bisect is not broken by this set.

The short log below highlights the most recent changes.  The patches
will be sent as a reply to this message, and they are also available via
git:

	git pull git://lost.foo-projects.org/~dwillia2/git/iop md-accel-linus

Additional comments and feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Dan
