Are you sure sent the right patch? This one misses a few changes.
Anyway, I stole all the good ideas and integrated them into my patch. :)
- I use a separate initcall for the module initialization, that's the
only way I can solve my IDE problems.
- I put the initcall for that directly into the generated file.
- raid autodetect became a late_initcall()
- I don't use trap to clean up, so people can send us the temporary
files, if something should go wrong. These files will be removed by a
normal 'make clean' anyway.

bye, Roman
