I've added linux-scsi which should be cc'd on all SCSI issues.

I don't quite believe this, though.  The requirement for struct
scatterlist is the same before and after the gid scsi-misc patch.  If
the compile fails with git-scsi-misc because of a missing scatterlist
include, it should also fail with vanilla 2.6.23 without the git
patch ... could you see if you can find out why it doesn't?

thanks,

James
