raw 2.5.2 patch
A raw ia64 patch for sync-up with v2.5.2 is now at the usual place (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64) in file:
v2.5/linux-2.5.2-ia64-020116-dontuse.gz
As the name suggests, I don't recommend using it: 2.5.2 seems sufficiently unstable that I don't think its worth spending a lot of time on it. With this patch, the kernel should work on the HP simulator (both UP and MP). Also, it worked reasonably well with an IDE-based Big Sur. I suspect SCSI won't work (unless you use a controller other than the qla1280).
Since I don't expect this patch to be very useful for most folks, I left the kdb stuff in there.
Is someone from Qlogic planning on updating the qla1280 and qla2100 drivers? I hacked the qla1280 a bit, but I doubt it's all correct and I didn't touch the qla2100 at all.
