    Just to make sure everyone agrees on this - there's currently a know bug
    in dc395x with highmem reported by Pierre Ossman in thread "Kernel panic
    with dc395x in 2.6.12.2" on linux-scsi. It is also trivial to reproduce on
    non-highmem machines. It was there also in 2.6.12. It only was hit by one
    person because not many use dc395x controlled cards in highmem machines
    today. The fix is known - at least revert my patch to dc395x commited to
    2.6.12-rc5. This will fix this bug, leaving another one, which is much
    harder to hit. There was only one person who hit it, but he cannot test
    any more patches - the hardware is not there any more. I think I have a
    fix for that one too, but that's another story. So, I would say it would
    be worth it reverting that patch before 2.6.13, but, that's because I feel
    personal responsibility for that bug:-)

    Thanks
