The main point of my request is that the patch be applied to
Debian's kernel *before* it gets into the official sources.
Indeed, once it is in the official sources, there's no need
to patch Debian's kernel.
I've been running a kernel with this driver for several weeks now with
no ill effects -- in fact, my root partition is on a mirrored drive on
this controller. Moreover, the patch simply adds one source file
and fixes the Makefile to build it. It is quite safe for you
to apply it.
