Only create additional ring info files on Cayman or newer

This patch should not create the additional files at all for your card. I've only been able to compile-test it, does it work for you?
Comment 2 Michel Dänzer 2012-02-22 01:55:59 UTC 
I've tested the fix and submitted it, should make it into 3.3 final.
