Dear Debian Kernel Maintainers,

Alan Cox has a patch against 2.6.10 that supports the IT 8212 RAID
Controller, which is found on some motherboards.

This patch (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/12/28/79) applied with no
problem against the Debian kernel sources.  It just adds one extra
source file that builds one extra module so there is no concern about
code destabilization.  I'm using this module on my system now.


If you could include this in the debian sources and enable the module,
I'd be very much in your debt.  Thanks.
