Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *    This has the unfortunate side effect that if a shost adapter does
+ *    not automatically request sense information, that we end up shutting
+ *    it down before we request it.
+ *
+ *    All drivers should request sense information internally these days,
+ *    so for now all I have to say is tough noogies if you end up in here.
+ *
+ *    XXX: Long term this code should go away, but that needs an audit of
+ *         all LLDDs first.
