STATUS:
o Should be stable for x86 32bit

KNOWN ISSUES:
o Reports that intel boards die if you load i2o_block and i2o_scsi
o Some promise cards need firmware updates

TO DO:

General:
o Finish 64bit and big endian cleanup
o Switch to new PCI mapping layer throughout
o Hotswap of controllers
o Provide hidden address space if asked
o Long term message flow control
o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
o Push FAIL handling into the core
o DDM control interfaces for module load etc

Block:
o Multiple major numbers (problem goes away in 2.5)
o Power management
o Finish Media changers

SCSI:

Lan:
o Performance tuning
o Test Fibre Channel code

Tape:
o Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
