Inclusion of vmware mptbase regression fix
Hi Petr,
The patch you posted for the MPT Fusion driver regression with VMware 5.5.4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/23/345) was used to fix a Gentoo kernel bug (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185272).
Have you received word from upstream (kernel devs) yet as to whether your patch will be included? Or if it will be included at all?
Regards,
Maarten Bressers

Since it is a problem not specific to the kernel,
no 'fix' or workaround is going to be included.

That's a slightly worse version of this patch.

And the answer's still the same: fix the vmware fusion emulation ... it's a software thing too.

It is already fixed in WS6.0, and I latest Fusion beta has fixed this as well.
