Pieter:
	I can't compile the driver.
	I can do './configure' but with 'make' in the 'pci/isisalsa'
subdirectory report an error:

	I don't know if this error is a problem of the driver but I search the
line of isis.c where 'isis_sam_read_data' appears  and it is in a
section called 'no spinlock' :(
