The ARECA drivers have just moved from the mm tree into the mainline kernel in 
2.6.19, I've just downloaded 2.6.19.1 and verified that their arcmsr driver 
(version 1.20.00.13) still exists in drivers/scsi/arcmsr .

I guess you could say they were kicked upstairs, but certainly not kicked 
out.. :-)

Caveat: there is a known ext3 filesystem corruption bug in 2.6.19 and 
2.6.19.1, it's apparently hard to trigger (though someone said they got it 
through just compiling).

If you are a Linux Weekly News subscriber (and if you're not you probably 
should be, it's a great news resource) you can read about it here (should be 
freely available at the end of the week when the next weekly news comes out):

Bugzilla entry for the compiling case:

Good luck!
