In an interesting twist of fate, that is exactly what I am currently
working on planning, see the patches that I pushed through last week,
according to my estimates, I am about 1/3 of the way through
modernising the 2.6 driver. However, as of yet I have received no
comment from LSI about the modifications to the drivers that I have
made. I have received a response from Jeff Garzik that it appears that
I am on the right track.

As a side issue, the comment in the 2.6 driver that says that it is
2.00.3 is just plain wrong. Look at the driver from 2.6 and the 2.00.3
release, there are a lot of differences there! The problem is that the
2.6 and 2.4 drivers diverged a little at some point in the past, and
then quite a lot in 2.6.1, hence the reason for taking so long to
forward port the changes.

Cheers,
Paul
