What happened to the it821x IDE/PCI Raid driver?

In the 2.6.10 series of kernels, Alan Cox' IT821x PCI/IDE-RAID driver
was included in the kernel as a module.   In 2.6.11 kernels, the module
disappeared and the device is not recognized by the kernel.

Researching some via Google and various kernel sites implied that the
driver was rendered irrelevant by some changes to the main IDE driver,
but the failure to be recognized seems to indicate that something has
actually happened.

I realize Alan is going on sabattical, but has anyone picked up the
it821x driver?   Or is there some magic kernal parameter incantation
that will let FC3 and upward use this popular card?

Thanks for the attention.
