Subject: [GIT PATCH] SCSI bug fixes for 2.6.22-rc5

Now that we're stabilising, this is a simple push of two (fairly
critical) bug fixes.  You can get it from:

master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-rc-fixes-2.6.git

The changelog is:

    [SCSI] ESP: Don't forget to clear ESP_FLAG_RESETTING.
    
    esp_reset_cleanup() does everything necessary except clear
    the flag, so we never exit resetting state.

    [SCSI] fusion: fix for BZ 8426 - massive slowdown on SCSI CD/DVD drive
    
    Patch for: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8426
    
    A recent code cleanup that moved code from mptscsih to mptspi
    inadvertently change the order some code was called.  This caused
    a massive slowdown (of 150x to 300x) on the CD/DVD drive on the
    high-end HP Integrity servers.
