It shouldn't - should be mainline submittal.

I exchanged email with Matthew Jacob <mjacob@feral.com> in Jan 2003 and
data corruption occurred in < 10 minutes of functional testing.
(Sorry Jes, I remembered wrong - it wasn't a panic).
I could add retesting this driver to my TODO list if someone thinks
it's worthwhile.

feral.com driver stopped being interesting to me becuase the qlogic
drivers have usually passed functional testing (found very few issues).
I find stylistic "bugs" easier to fix than correctness issues...
