Yes, there is a lot of evilness in the asr driver.  A whole lot.  The
original author does not have time/desire to maintain it, so obrien
volunteered to take over maintainership.  I suspect that real life
(or a different cool project, like sparc64) has intruded on his
plans to do so, and I don't really blame him =-).  I give my blessing
to anyone who is brave/stupid enough to want to touch this driver.
Fix it, delete it, use it in pagan rituals, even let JMjr touch it,
I really don't care.

Be a man and buy a SCSI RAID controller.  The Adaptec 5400S is
all you'll ever need =-)
