Subject: [PATCH] IBM ServeRAID driver version 4.50 update


Could someone make sure IBM's latest ServeRAID drivers
get merged into the mainstream kernel? The standard
kernel sources contain a hopelessly outdated version.

IBM do not seem to actively submit their work, so that's
why I am asking.

You can find version 4.50 at
ftp://ftp.pc.ibm.com/pub/pccbbs/pc_servers/24p2809.tgz

4.50 has the same Linux kernel code as the stuff merged. The newer stuff is
firmware only it seems

The Linux kernel code comes with version 4.20. I count 128 lines of
"diff -u" output on ips.c and 44 on ips.h. It also looks like both
versions have different patches applied to them.
