info about qla1280

[Xose Vazquez Perez <xose wanadoo es>]

hi,

this piece of RHEL 3 RELEASE-NOTES is a bit 'not true':

"The qla1280 driver (for the Qlogic ISP1x80/1x160 SCSI adapters)
*has not been maintained in the official Linux kernel for many years.*
As a result, although this driver works correctly with the Intel x86
architecture, it does not work correctly with other architectures.
Therefore, Red Hat only supports the qla1280 driver on Intel x86 platforms."

kernel-2.4.23-preX has a port from 2.6 drivers:

--qla1280.c--
