[PLUG] Kernel 2.4.3 and aic7xxx compile problems

[Matthew Henkler]

Well, it looks like one of the Makefiles in 2.4.3 is broken.  For some
reason, the output from aicasm_scan.l is lex.yy.c, but it is supposed to
be called aicasm_scan.c.  For anyone else who has a Adaptec Ultra2 Wide,
Ultra160 card, etc., here's how to make it compile.

in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm:
lex -oaicasm_scan.c aicasm_scan.l
then, let the kernel compile as normal
