Merge with 2.3.43. I did ignore all modifications to the qlogicisp.c

driver due to the Origin A64 hacks.

+BFS FILESYSTEM FOR LINUX
+========================

 In order to access /stand partition under Linux you obviously need to
 know the partition number and the kernel must support UnixWare disk slices
