You are hereby invited to debug the DAC960 driver. Making the needed changes only took a few hours to get it to the point where it initializes, now it oopses in the interrupt handler, because I did the bio part wrong. Of course, you might not make any mistakes, but you probably will, so get ready with your printks. It's going to take you a while, I can assure you.
I flat out refuse to do this without kgdb.
