As a owner of Areca hardware I sure appreciate the responsiveness and work they have done in respects to Linux support. Thanks to Randy, Christoph, Randy and others for their work as well!

The vendor Id should go into pci_ids.h, the device ids either removed or spelled the normal linux way 13- arcmsr_do_interrupt should stop walking the global host list and use the private data passed to request_irq 14- the global host list go away completely 15- locking to be redone. 16- arcmsr_device_probe rewritten to do goto-based error unwinding. 17- remove msi options 18- remove arcmsr_scsi_host_template_init 19- the hardware documentation move from arcmsr.h into a separate file (Documentation/scsi/arcmsr_spec.txt) 20- remove the SCSISTAT_* defines 21- split arcmsr.c into arcmsr_attr.c from arcmsr_hba.c - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
