Here's the latest version of my patch to avoid recompiling your kernel when you
add a smart Stallion IO card to your system.
A previous version of this patch went into the kernel about 2.1.90 but was soon
wiped out by a new version from Stallion. Can someone who is maintaining a CVS
tree (Linus? Alan? Dave?) please include this for 2.2.0?
This patch has been tested quite a bit and works well for my clients. I would
like to do a patch for the intelligent cards too if someone is willing to test
it for me (I haven't got access to such a card).
