IOP32x 2.6.26 kernel with Intel DMA engine patches

<p>

I've produced a 2.6.26 based kernel with the DMA engine patches from
Intel which I intend to support throughout the lifetime of Debian
lenny.  The Thecus N2100 has considerably better hard drive
performance with this kernel.  However, the patches are experimental
and not in the mainline kernel (some <a href =
"http://bugs.debian.org/444271">background on this issue</a>).  I
haven't seen any data corruption with the current version of the
patches, but please watch out for problems if you decide to install
this kernel.  Detailed <a href =
"http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/dma/">instructions are
available</a>.
