These drivers are for older cards and are not fully ported to kernel 2.6. I never really intended to put this old stuff into kernel 2.6. The code of io.* and di.* is common code for all supported platforms, so I always try to reduce changes here. Like my last patch, I will try to remove unused code in linux with a preparser in my code-controller. So eventually the mentioned code is really unsused and can be removed. I will check all this in the next days and prepare a new patch.
