Yeah - they don't belong in the ia64-linux specific patch
and it's probably (partially) my fault they are there.

I'd think Jes could(had?) submit(ted) qla1280 bits himself upstream.

aren't these the "old" isp2x00 FC drivers?
I see the "new" qla2xxx drivers in their own directory:
drivers/scsi/qla2xxx
in linux-ia64-2.4 bk tree.

I thought for 2.5.x someone was maintaining an 8.x qla FC driver which was
in parallel with qla2xxx 6.x FC drivers maintained by qlogic.
I'm not sure what happened here since I don't see it in
David's linux-ia64-2.5 bk tree.

Red Hat Advanced Server kernels have qla2xxx FC support someplace.
I'll try to unpack a recent ia64 RHAS kernel and see where it's hiding
if no one else knows off hand.

AFAIK, HP doesn't care about "old" FC qla drivers on ia64.
IIRC, i2000 support has qla1280 and HP should support that.
HP cares more about new qlogic FC drivers. e.g.:
scsi6 : QLogic QLA2312 PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter: bus 128 device 1 irq 62
Firmware version: 3.01.18, Driver version 6.04.00
(HP will actually need a post release of 6.05)

If necessary, I can organize help in-house.
