If its not going to be ported, I guess we should add a sentence to the help
text of CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC so people like me don't think its a bug.
Something like "Flashpoint Host Adapter support is only available on x86 but
not on x86_64 systems."
Would one of you please submit such a patch? I've never submitted a kernel
patch and don't know how to do it.
