The main point of my request is that the patch be applied to Debian's kernel *before* it gets into the official sources. Indeed, once it is in the official sources, there's no need to patch Debian's kernel. I've been running a kernel with this driver for several weeks now with no ill effects -- in fact, my root partition is on a mirrored drive on this controller. Moreover, the patch simply adds one source file and fixes the Makefile to build it. It is quite safe for you to apply it.
