- *      - Error Handling: SCSI aborts and bus reset requests are handled somewhat
- *        but the code needs additional debugging.
+ * TODO:
+ *   - look into possible improvements of the SCSI error handlers
+ *   - handle Unit_Characteristics.mgt_ORB_timeout and .ORB_size
+ *   - handle Logical_Unit_Number.ordered
+ *   - handle src == 1 in status blocks
+ *   - reimplement the DMA mapping in absence of physical DMA so that
+ *     bus_to_virt is no longer required
+ *   - debug the handling of absent physical DMA
+ *   - replace CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA by automatic detection
+ *     (this is easy but depends on the previous two TODO items)
+ *   - make the parameter serialize_io configurable per device
+ *   - move all requests to fetch agent registers into non-atomic context,
+ *     replace all usages of sbp2util_node_write_no_wait by true transactions
+ *   - convert to generic DMA mapping API to eliminate dependency on PCI
+ * Grep for inline FIXME comments below.
