Subject: [PATCH 0/3] debloat aic7xxx and aic79xx drivers

Hi Andrew,

Can you please take these patches into -mm?

I seem to be unable to push them through scsi people,
they silently drop them on the floor.

There patches significantly debloat drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/*.

1-debloat.patch
Deinlines and moves big functions from .h to .c files.
Adds prototypes for ahc_lookup_scb and ahd_lookup_scb to .h files.

2-addstatic.patch
Adds statics, #ifdefs out huge amount of unused code, adds consts

3-addconst.patch
Adds more consts

Driver code/data size reductions with and without debugging enabled
(aic0 is just an unmodified linux-2.6.25-rc6):

Configs used for these builds are attached to this email
for anyone interested.

make namespacecheck goes from 400+ functions to:
  drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_core.o
    ahd_inq
    ahd_inw
    ahd_outq
    ahd_outw
  drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic79xx_osm.o
    ahd_insb
  drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_core.o
    ahc_inq
    ahc_outq
  drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.o
    ahc_insb

None of these patches touch any logic, code changes are pretty minimal.

Compile tested and applies cleanly to 2.6.25-rc6.
I don't have this hardware anymore and cannot run test these patches,
but other people reported success in the past:
