* Current Issues:

* specification and for where to purchase the official standard.

* - 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.
