Hi Petr,
The patch you posted for the MPT Fusion driver regression with VMware
5.5.4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/23/345) was used to fix a Gentoo
kernel bug (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185272).
Have you received word from upstream (kernel devs) yet as to whether
your patch will be included? Or if it will be included at all?
Regards,
Maarten Bressers

Since it is a problem not specific to the kernel,
no 'fix' or workaround is going to be included.

That's a slightly worse version of this patch.

And the answer's still the same: fix the vmware fusion emulation ...
it's a software thing too.
