Subject: [PATCH] scsi: eata.c potential namespace collision and optimisation

This fixes a potential namespace collision and does an optimisation for 
2.6.20 drivers/scsi/eata.c:

	* sort() is renamed to eata_sort() to avoid conflict with kernel 
	  proper sort(). It does _not_ conflict currently in 2.6.20 so 
	  this is a pre-emptive change.

	* in eata_sort(), one if-condition per loop iteration is avoided
	  by moving the comparison out of the loop

Warning: The patch compiles but is not tested with real hardware since I 
don't have the card.
