http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=104809886115519&w=2

was the post by Yaroslav Klyukin <[email protected]> to Alan Cox
which contained a copy of the driver (not a patch) which he said worked
in 2.4.20.  I'm not sure how he got it, I can't find it on Adaptec's
linux.adaptec.com web site.  I *believe* this is what Deanna sent to
Alan prior to her departure from Adaptec, and is what Alan claimed above
to have pending.

The diff between 2.4.x-BK-current and what is attached to the note above
looks like:

Ignoring all the whitespace changes made, you get:

 commctrl.c |  227

I'll attach both patches (one with whitespace changes in it, one that
ignores whitespace changes) if someone cares to decipher what changed
and summarize it for us.

One change I believe is in there fixes a bug with I/O requests that use
memory > 4GB.  I haven't run into that bug myself though, so I can't say
for sure...

Thanks,
Matt
