It would take considerable amounts of work to get it into releasable
shape, because I'd have to add RMW functionality to all the implemented
algorithms -- not just the one my machine uses. However, if someone is
interested in vgrepping through the source I can post the part of the
diff patch that applies to raid6main.c.
I doubt it's actually wrong, though. It probably just causes worse
access patterns in my particular configuration.
