Re: [PATCH] mac_esp: remove redundant mutual exclusion

From: Finn Thain <redacted>

Mutual exclusion is redundant here because all the paths in the call graph 
leading to esp_driver_ops.send_dma_cmd() happen under spin_lock_irqsave/ 
spin_lock_irqrestore. Remove it.

Tested on a Mac Quadra 660av and a Mac LC 630.

This patch should be CC:'d to linux-scsi not netdev

I understand how the networking maintainer is very responsive
and the SCSI maintainer generally takes forever, so your
Freudian slip will go unjudged :-)
