I'd do that, but the driver source provides explicit instructions for 
patch submittal.  I've heard nothing whatsoever from Mr. Garzik or 
anyone else on the linux-ide list.  Furthermore, the first time I 
submitted the patch, I indeed (and apparently erroneously) submitted it 
to the linux-scsi list.  Again, no response.
