There's a full-time programmer at PDC working on the RAID management layer for this, plus all of the folks there working on the O/S independent apps in userland for the card. Perhaps I can get hold of an early snapshot of that code from them (the chardev driver), and submit that as a subsequent patch. So, skipping the EXPORTs for now, how do you guys feel about the driver ?
