Things HP Cares About

	SCSI subsystem improvement
 
		Detect LUNs using SCSI 3 REPORT LUN on devices that support it
		A /proc interface to trigger LUN discovery on specific targets
		Support for large LUN counts (>1024)
		Redesign of SCSI error handling
		Better support for failover and load balancing

	Large system support
		Multiple PCI segment support (systems with >256 PCI busses need PCI segments/domains)
		Discontiguous memory (we don't do ccNUMA'ish things (yet), but our large systems contain HP chipsets that have certain memory layout requirements)
