There is no fusion based network card and resources exists today in Avago(LSI) to test this patch so we prefer to leave it as is. We would like to prevent any new changes on MPT (FC/SCSI/SAS/LAN) drivers as we don't have support for those cards anymore, is there a way we could remove those drivers from newer kernels or mark them as unmaintained?.

Yeah, I'm inclined to leave it as is. If somebody provides a Tested-by: I'll reconsider. -- Martin K.
