Removing the SCSI tape module results in an oops in class_device_destroy if
any devices are present. The patch at the end of this message fixes the bug
by moving class_destroy() later in exit_st() so that the class still exists
when devices are removed. (The bug is old but class_simple_device_remove() did
nothing when the class did not exist.)
The patch also fixes a "class leak" in init_st() error path.
I would like to get this into 2.6.13 but it may be too late?

This patch is against 2.6.12-rc3 + linus-patch from April 30. The patch
contains the following fixes:
- CAP_SYS_RAWIO is used instead of CAP_SYS_ADMIN; fix from Alan Cox
- only direct sending of SCSI commands requires this permission
- the st status is modified is successful unload is performed using
SCSI_IOCTL_STOP_UNIT

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
