Nothing happened after Alan's message.

So, currently only the first patch was acceptable (to Alan, that is, but
it touched the SCSI code).

At least, I haven't seen a reply from the SCSI people. Perhaps the best
thing to do is to submit a series of one or two trivial patches that
just downgrade the errors involved to notices. That should lead to
feedback by the SCSI people.
