David,

I am not familiar with the Galil driver, but here is something to be
aware of.

The are 2 different uses of asyn in the "motor" module.

1) As the low-level interface between the motor record drivers and
serial or TCP/IP devices.  This use is quite old, and is used by many
"non-asyn" device drivers.

2) As a medium level interface between motor record device support and
new drivers.  This is a relatively new development, with an asyn device
support and driver support that are both device-independent.  This is
probably what you meant by "asyn drivers".

So it is possible that you are building the motor module with drivers
that are not in category 2, but still needs asyn because they are in
category 1.
