aic7xxx build noise in 2.5.64

In 2.5.64 (+ .63 + .64bk3) at the end of a 'make bzImage' I see:

....
make -rR -f scripts/Makefile.modpost
scripts/modpost vmlinux drivers/scsi/advansys.o ...
... fs/vfat/vfat.o lib/zlib_deflate/zlib_deflate.o *** Warning: Can't handle class_mask in

The mask is correct. The tool not groking it is broken. In otherwords, the class is only 16bits and it is offset by 8 bits into the class variable in the pci device. I could switch to using ~0 and things will probably just work, but why have a mask at all if it must be "all bits set" in order for the tools to not complain?

I am quite happy to let thru "aic7xxx" et.al, but a number of sites receiving email from vger like to reject it. And that number is growing :-(
