I thought when we adopted the latest aic driver for the 2.5 kernel, we
agreed to two things:

1. You'd send small regular updates as patches to linux-scsi
2. You wouldn't try to dump megabytes of patches into the stable kernel.

The diffstats on this patch are:

40 files changed, 6933 insertions(+), 5325 deletions(-)

And it's 640k in size.  You're also trying to rev the aic79xx driver
from 1.3.9 to 2.0.5; that's a bit of a major revision for a bugfix
release.

I'm really not happy dropping this into 2.6.1; what breadth of testing
outside of Adaptec has it had?
