That's good new and bad news.  Good news that there isn't a problem with
interaction with vinum.  I've been swamped at work so I haven't had a
chance to test vinum with the patch set.

I recall that the cmd649 is a problem controller in general (not specfic
to my patches).  Does it work okay without my patchset?

Thanks,
