Instead of having constants.c littered with ifdef statements we should
be moving dummy functions into the header and condintionally compile in
constants.c if selected. And update the Kconfig description to reflect
the actual size difference.

<content type='text'>
Implement a per-cpu buffer for formatting messages to avoid line breaks
up under high load.  This patch implements scmd_printk() and
sdev_prefix_printk() using the per-cpu buffer and makes sdev_printk() a
wrapper for sdev_prefix_printk().

The am53c974 is a re-implementation of the tmscsim driver,
and provides the same functionality.
So remove the tmscsim driver and make am53c974 an alias to tmscsim.

<title>xen-scsifront: Add Xen PV SCSI frontend driver</title>

<id>8beb8d4c91d652617dc992de565ec9904361c33e</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduces the Xen pvSCSI frontend. With pvSCSI it is possible for a
Xen domU to issue SCSI commands to a SCSI LUN assigned to that
domU. The SCSI commands are passed to the pvSCSI backend in a driver
domain (usually Dom0) which is owner of the physical device. This
allows e.g. to use SCSI tape drives in a Xen domU.

The code is taken from the pvSCSI implementation in Xen done by
Fujitsu based on Linux kernel 2.6.18.

Changes from the original version are:
- port to upstream kernel
- put all code in just one source file
- move module to appropriate location in kernel tree
- adapt to Linux style guide
- some minor code simplifications
- replace constants with defines
- remove not used defines
- add support for larger SG lists by putting them in a granted page

<content type='text'>
After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this
driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and
whether it warranted fixing.  In the Kconfig help text, I found:

  "This driver will eventually be phased out entirely"

Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2]
in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---&gt; v2.4.2.2

So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases
since then, I think we can justify removing this.  Currently we have
people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then
wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to
find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it.

A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it.
If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year
old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable
that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.
