2.4.3 aic7xxx wont compile without a patch

Hei

I have tried to compile 2.4.3 and got a error in aic7xxx:

If I patch the kernel source with the last version of the driver 6.1.8
from http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/ , it works OK and I can
compile the kernel (I get some warnings, but it looks like it works, I can
start the machine with the new kernel, etc)

Didn't 2.4.3 supose to include this patch so we don't get this error?
