Ok.

For 2.6.23 there is one patch:

<http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/sata_promise/patch-sata_promise-1-asic-sg-bug-fix-v3-2.6.23>
This is the workaround for the ASIC PRD/SG bug.

For 2.6.22 there are two patches:

<http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/sata_promise/patch-sata_promise-1-ft_tx4200-is-gen2-2.6.22>
This corrects the classification of FastTrack TX4200 cards,
which in turn fixes nasty errors in how they are accessed.

<http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/patches/sata_promise/patch-sata_promise-2-asic-sg-bug-fix-v3-2.6.22>
This is the workaround for the ASIC PRD/SG bug.

Maybe -stable should get this?
