I don't have a patch, sorry.

I hacked up my system with new udev, dbus and hal to see, and it doesn't
seem to read the config file at all (I used strace -fF).

So is the bug in libsysfs instead? If so, a bug report should probably
be sent that way, too.

At any rate, there's no user-relevant data after byte #128 in
SYM53C8XX's /sys/devices/pci*/.../config files. These are all zero on
newer adaptors according to Matt Wilcox, SYM53C8XX maintainer, so no
entropy there that might make an application or auxiliary subsystem
change behavior.

BTW, "tak" for the quick response!
