Guess that's my screwup.

I presume that with the exception of the #include removal from lasi700.c
this lot should go to Gérard Roudier <groudier@club-internet.fr>.  So
far as the zalon bits are concerned, I first sent them to him in August
2000, and exchanged a few mails, and then chased on and off until Feb
2001.  Looks like I ran out of patience after that.  Anyway, from Feb
2001:

So I take that to mean he was happy with the code.

NOTE though, that not all the zalon changes are in the diff willy
posted; it doesn't include ncr53c8xx.c changes, at least.
