Geert Uytterhoeven has a patch in his POSTPONED queue that is supposed

I see. Although I don't know the patch, I'd like to add this part to
Geert's patch if possible. And when the patch can be posted, we can
re-add this part again.

Geert, what do you think?

It's in POSTPONED state because nobody speaks up for/against it.
Personally, I don't know how much it is (still) needed...
But a few years ago somebody contacted me that he used it succesfully
on PA-RISC and i386 ;-)

BTW, the patch is
http://linux-m68k-cvs.ubb.ca/~geert/linux-m68k-patches-2.6/POSTPONED/134-atari-fat.diff

Atari people, I think now is the time to let it live or die...

The patch looks good, how can I let it live?

Could you test whether it works well? If it works fine, I'll merge and
clean it up. If it doesn't work, please fix it.

BTW,

+		if (sbi->fat_bits != 32 && total_clusters+2 > sbi->
+			fat_length*SECTOR_SIZE*8/sbi->fat_bits)
+			sbi->fat_bits = 12;

SECTOR_SIZE should be sb->s_blocksize? Or Atari doesn't support the
sector size other than 512 bytes?

Thanks.
