Is the scsi-error handling (for sg) in a state where Juerg Schilling would
stop complaining yet? From what I can make out of his homepage, there are
only a few changes that needs to be done, but without them, sg is quite
useless. Any clues (I've never used anything but sd, so...)

* ntfs
* Merging ramfs & cramfs into the one and same driver would be an idea,
right?
* hfs

Is nfs v3 merged completely yet, or is it still only knfsd that handles
nfs v3? Imitcnsho (in my in this case not so humble opinion), nfs v3 is a
bloody must.

* lvm

x86 only:

* Merging the cpuinfo patches for older cpu's. Works perfectly for me, at
the very least (and I'm not the author.)
