[PATCH] aacraid: fails to initialize after a kexec operation

Mon Apr 23 09:38:43 EDT 2007

Missing portion of the kexec changes to the aacraid driver. The platform
functions were not initialized when the restart function is activated
resulting in a panic when these platform functions are called. Please
note that it is NOT a mistake that the disable interrupt handler is used
as the initial value of the enable interrupt platform function, it will
be set up correctly once the adapter is discovered and initialized.

Please note that aacraid_kexec_5.patch contains this fix, since an
earlier aacraid_kexec patch was applied to the tree and appears to have
propagated, this is meant to supersede the earlier patch and bring it up
to date with aacraid_kexec_5.patch, but expected to break when the
aacraid_kexec_5.patch propagates... James, can you sort out this mess
(either by stopping aacraid_kexec_5.patch, or by letting this enclosed
patch move with some level of priority)?

ObligatoryDisclaimer: Please accept my condolences regarding Outlook's
handling of patches.

This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6. Also expect this
patch can be applied to 2.6.21-rc6-mm1
