Now that alpha-2 is out of the door, I think this might be the right time to check the status of including the pvscsi driver in the Lucid tree for it to be available with alpha-3
I just tried merging the mainline commit (851b164231d111 7673aa44c00c762 2e48b7dfcf4 - which introduced this driver) to Lucid's git tree and the merge looks successful.
Please let me know if you would need any more info before the actual commit to Lucid can be done.
Thanks.
