Phew, good thing I didn't get around to check the machine name from OF
:)
The patch tries to make sure it only touches E100s by looking at PCI
0:11:0 for a DEC 21140 and at PCI 0:0d:0 for a Qlogic ISP - and only if
it finds both it will do anything. So it should work on the J700 too.

Ah, so far I thought the J700 is a castrated S900 without the PCI
bridge ( and only one bandit )
have fun
