Okay. Sine the choice directive is now gone, is there a compelling reason
to put the "old" aic7xxx driver Kconfig directives in the same Kconfig
file as the new driver? It is kind of nice to have the separation since
Adaptec cannot support the old driver. I also take it that you were also
unable to make the choice directive do the right thing? That was the
original reason for removing the "old driver" Kconfig directives. The
way your patch stands now, I don't believe there is anything to prevent
both drivers from being compiled statically into the kernel. If so, the
resulting kernel will not boot.
