- Moved qla2x00t patch generation code from qla2x00t/Makefile to
qla2x00t/extract-qla2xxx-orig and qla2x00t/generate-in-tree-patches.
Restored qla2x00t/Makefile to r1104.
- scripts/run-regression-tests now passes the full kernel version (including
patch level) to scripts/generate-kernel-patch.
- scripts/generate-kernel-patch can now generate patches for the files
in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx for any kernel version instead of only 2.6.26.8.

follows:
- Building the QLogic target driver is possible by following the instructions
in qla2x00t/qla2x00-target/README.
- Some but not all of the qla2x00-target code is included in the output of
scripts/generate-kernel-patch. This is unfortunate because it is the output
of this script that is posted to the LKML each time SCST is submitted for
review.
- Most of the qla2x00-target code is checked during the nightly build by
checkpatch. None of the qla2x00-target code is checked during the nightly
build by sparse.
The patch below makes sure that all of the qla2x00-target code is included in
the generate-kernel-patch output and also that all of the qla2x00-target code
is checked during the nightly build by both checkpatch and sparse. This has
been realized by including the diff of the linux-2.6.26.8/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx
source files and the source files in qla2x00t/*[ch] as individual patches under
qla2x00t/in-tree-patches. These patches are generated from downloaded
linux-2.6.26.8 sources and the sources in the SCST SVN repository.
The next step is to fix the checkpatch and sparse warnings triggered by the
qla2x00-target code and to port the latest qla2xxx patches to the SCST
qla2x00t implementation.

While writing DKMS support for the SCST and iSCST-SCST kernel modules, I ran
into a (common) problem with regard to out-of-tree build detection. A common
method to detect out-of-tree building is by using the KERNELRELEASE variable.
The usage of this variable poses a problem when using DKMS. DKMS itself uses
the KERNELRELEASE variable to specify the kernel for which the driver to
build. A suggested alternative would to use the PATCHLEVEL variable as part
of the detection mechanism instead. I attached a patch reflecting this
suggested change.
