Changes: This release changes the driver to use the new 2.4 kernel PCI APIs. This changes how all cards are detected. This adds some new ioctls for adding/deleting volumes while the driver is online. Code to request/release the io-region used by the cards was added. A small fix was made to the flush on unload.


Changes: Version 2.4.4 uses the new 2.4 kernel DMA APIs to support IA64 machines with over 3G of memory. These cards are only capable of doing 32-bit DMA so in a 64 bit system they will be using bounce buffers, so set your "swiotlb=" appropriately.


Changes: This release fixes a bug with revalidating the volume after the partition table had been changed. With older version updating, the partition table of d15 would make d0 have a disk size of 0.


Changes: New additions include modinfo information and an ioctl to return PCI bus information. The buffer for the pass-thru commands was increased to 1024.


Changes: Support for the SmartArray 431, and a couple of bug fixes.
