Re: Linux 2.5.14-dj1

["Scott A. Sibert" <kernel@hollins.edu>]

There's an error compiling for the aic7xxx (compiling firmware) and this 
also happened in 2.5.13-dj1 but this does not occur in the vanilla 
2.5.13 or 2.5.14.  And, of course, removing aic7xxx_seq.h and 
aic7xxx_reg.h is bad and causes me to have to pull it from another copy 
of the source tree.  This is compiling the aic7xxx (not the old one) 
into the kernel (not a module) and compiling the firmware:
