Argh,

What about Doug's aic7xxx patches? Last I heard 2.0.x aic7xxx driver was
"unfit for news server load". Not that I've had any troubles with it
recently mind you. Or are there "political" problems with aic7xxx-5.0.x in
the mainstream kernel?

PS. Did anyone investiagte Andreas' claim that a "pte_free_kernel()" call
introduced in 2.0.33 to combat a perceived leak, in fact corrupts memory?
