OK, I have added them from today (called scsi-core and scsi-drivers).
James, feel free to yell if that is not OK.  If these are to stay
longer term (and I have no objections given your list of requirements),
then you should rename the branches (maybe to -next instead of -3.16).

These will be merged after the scsi tree so that they effectively
disappear from my radar when they have been merged into James' tree.

Currently you are the only contact for problems - let me know if I
should add someone else (or a list).

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
you may know, this is not a judgment of your code.  The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window. 

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your branches have
been:
     * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
        Signed-off-by,
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and 
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to James (or ask him
to fetch).  They are allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.
