Subject: [PATCH 0/3] cciss rmmod/scan-thread fixes

The following series fixes several problems causing hangs while
rmmoding the cciss driver. In the process of fixing these hangs, I
also reworked the the logical drive scanning kernel thread to use one
thread per driver rather than one thread per controller. I also added
a sysfs attribute to kick off a controller scan.

Andrew Patterson (3):
      cciss: remove logical drive sysfs entries during driver cleanup.
      cciss: use only one scan thread
      cciss: kick off logical drive topology rescan through sysfs
