AACRAID fails to initialize after an kexec operation

[Salyzyn, Mark]

2.6.21-rc6-mm1 contains an earlier kexec patch, that one needs to be
removed and this one put in it's place.

Basically the following fragment represents the update in the later
patch that deals with this specific issue.

+       dev->a_ops.adapter_enable_int = aac_rx_disable_interrupt;
        dev->OIMR = status = rx_readb (dev, MUnit.OIMR);
        if ((((status & 0xff) != 0xff) || reset_devices) &&
          !aac_rx_restart_adapter(dev, 0))
