Thanks Tormod,

Attached is the same patch, but with your 'Reviewed-by' added.

Yeah, the T22 is rather old, and a bit of a 'Frankenstein PC' at this 
point, but its quite functional even with Linux-3.0 and KDE-4.7

thanks again,
John

This patch corrects a typo/regression in the savage driver code occurring in going
from linux-2.6.39.3 to linux-3.0.0.

In linux-2.6.39.3, there were two savage4 variants (S3_SAVAGE4 and S3_PROSAVAGE).
Hence, S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES was defined as

  S3_SAVAGE4 or S3_PROSAVAGE

In linux-3.0.0, two additional savage4 variants (S3_TWISTER and S3_PROSAVAGEDDR) have
been added. Hence S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES should be defined as

  S3_SAVAGE4, S3_PROSAVAGE, S3_TWISTER, or S3_PROSAVAGEDDR

In going from linux-2.6.39.3 to linux-3.0.0, the define statement for S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES
was incompletely modified: the '||' should have been changed to an '&&'; for an '||' will
set S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES true for any card.
