I haven't done any of the testing myself. But, I was told that the
Adaptec AIC stuff is good. I think that the LSE patch has been tested
on with Adaptec (aic7xxx) and QLogic fiber channel controllers. I guess
that the QLogic stuff is liked because the drivers are open source.
I was surprised to see that the ServeRAID driver isn't touched by the
lse patch. I thought that it still uses the io_request_lock in 2.4.
Care to add anything, Gerrit?
