>Description:
	1. It would be useful for the MI SCSI code to always print
	the maximum sync SCSI transfer rate for each device found.

	2. When printing bytes per second, versus bits per second,
	it would be a good idea to keep to the convention that
	bytes per second are "B/s" (capital-B) and bits per second
	are "b/s" (lower-case-b)

	3. it would be useful for "bytes per sector" to be
	abbreviated "bytes/sect" (add "t") to avoid confusion with
	"bytes per second" (and we certainly wouldn't want people to
	think that our SCSI driver only does 512 bytes per second!)

>How-To-Repeat:
	boot the system, observe output; sync SCSI transfer rate
	is only printed for DEBUG kernels, and is printed "Mb/s",
	when "MB/s" is meant. Also note potential confusion when
	sector size is reported.
