From what I remember, he did submit patches to Alan Cox, but
according to Joerg, AC ignored it and passwd the previous code to Linus
for inclusion in 2.2. He gave arguments for why his code is better, but I
don't really know much about SCSI programming, so can somebody comment if
it REALLY is better?
