Does this help:

I couldn't tell for sure that's the right hardware, but it seems to be.  Be 
aware, though, that at least one person thinks the driver is lousy:

From: Sergey Vlasov 
...
The driver is complete shit... they do locking this way:

...
static spinlock_t io_request_lock       = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
...

-
That was from 30 Oct. 2003.  Perhaps things have changed since then.

Hope that helps.
