[ANNOUNCE] QLogic qla2xxx driver update available (v8.00.00b3).

[Andrew Vasquez]

All,

A new version of the 8.x series driver for Linux 2.5.x kernels has
been uploaded to SourceForge:

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-qla2xxx/

This is mostly a resync in functionality with the latest 6.x beta
driver.  Additionally, there have been some file-structure changes to
the distribution package:

	o Removal of 2300 TPX firmware in favor of 2300 IPX
	  - Driver supports both FC-SCSI and IP concurrently.

		ql2300tpx.c -> ql2300ipx.c

The next driver drop will include further refinements in file
organization: FC Generic services, HBA identification table.

Changes include:

 *	- Rework PCI I/O space configuration.
 *	- ISR fast-path clean-up.
 *	- Rework IP functionality to support 2k logins.
 *	- Resync with 6.06.00b3.
 *	- Resync with Linux Kernel 2.5.70.

Regards,
Andrew Vasquez

A few suggestions:

- Use pci_set_mwi since it will set the cacheline size if necessary.
- Dont set/clear IO/MEMORY/MASTER, it should be handled in
  pci_enable_device/pci_set_master.

Thanks for the tips -- changes will be integrated into the next
release.
