Sorry for Not getting back with you on this issue earlier..I have been crazy
busy at work.
that being said, here are my findings..
First the patch worked with out issue and was able to spin the drives with no
problem. We were being effected by a weird kernel panic (see bug 666442)..I
was able to fix that by using a different kernel config. I will explain in more
detail in bug 666442.
So I took the latest Debian linux image 2.6.32-45 applied your patch used our
NEW kernel config and everything seemed to work great..it went through our
initial revs of LTP testing and there were some minor issues mainly on our OS
side but other than that, it works great.
We have greatly improved our performance using the new RAID cards, and the
driver worked great and without issue
I was a little bummed to see that patch was not applied in 2.6.32-45 but I
should have replied earlier..I would recommend to role this patch into
2.6.32-46 or what ever revision 2.6.32 development is on.

Friendly ping. Did you end up learning anything from testing?
Curious,
