Hmm I also just exchange a short mail with him and the idea was that it 
would be better to re-write completely this driver (without any doc and

(is ql we used on some of our Sun could work also on parisc? if yes my 
pb would be to convince our _new_ HP engineer to put one in the N I

I already had a ruby script which help me to 'split' a patch into 'per
