This comment exactly 80 characters long, but anyway I will split it into
two strings in next version of this patch.

Just to clarify: my gsia18s machine number will be added into
linux-2.6.37-rc6?

Does this mean that I must wait for rc6 and then send my patch with new
machine name or I can send it now?

Russel, please fix it to more readable "gsia18s" and "*_GSIA18S" for my
3234 machine.
Old names with two underscores ("gs_ia18_s" and "*_GS_IA18_S") was very
hard to read in the source code.

Best regards!
