3cddb2a3e2 John Aycock's BSD copyrighted sequencer assembler and sequencer code. This
is identical to the older version, just the copyright has changed.  Many
thanks go to Dean Gehnert of the Linux camp who went the extra mile to make
this happen.

Other changes:

Update assembler man page to include the -v and -D options

Merge in Dean's latest changes to the assembler

Have the sequencer do a MSG_REJECT when the negotiated syncronous rate
is lower than the adapter supports.  This forces asyncronous mode which
is faster at these rates anyway.

This code will be moved shortly to the non-gpld portion of the tree.

5743c01c3f Major overhaul of the aic7xxx driver:
- Report valid residual byte counts.  We actually pause the sequencer
	  when the residual is non-zero.  I thought about using DMA to do this,
	  bus sequencer program space is tight.

	- Fix embarassing off by one error in the computation of a 2's
	  compliment variable.  This was most likely the cause of the
	  many problems reported with the tagged queuing code.

	- Handle "MAX_SYNC" as a special case (ie we are the ones starting
	  the sync negotiation sequence).  This was done so that the target
	  scratch area can be initialed to 0 offset (asyncronous transfers)
	  safely.  The initialization to 0 (was 15) is necessary since in
	  some cases a Wide negotiation could run into problems if SCSIRATE
	  was set wrong and we went into data(in/out).

	- Trim the DMA routines a little by using some procedures.  Net
	  effect is more functionality with 3 less instructions after this
	  update.

	- Toggle the WIDEODD bit of the DFCNTRL whenever this is not the
	  last SG block.  It has no effect in the 8bit bus configuration,
	  but in the Wide configuration ensures that the overlap byte is
	  held in the SCSI block if the transfer is odd so it will end
	  up in the next SG (the correct behavior).

b8d72a5ae8 Make the aic7xxx assembler take quoted strings as a single token.
Make $Id the version variable which required the quoted string "feature".

c135d93bbf aic7xxx.c:
Print out the length of the compiled sequencer program.

aic7xxx.seq:
	More optimizations.  Replace generic bcopy routine with bcopy_3
and bcopy_4 (ie unroll the loops) since these are the only two cases used.
Initialize SIMODE1 and SXFRCTL1 from the kernel in ahc_init instead of
at each selection/reselection since this is expensive and only needs to
be done once.  Condense function returns into previous instruction if possible.
Reorder some sections to kill superflous jumps.  These optimizations kill
the ~150k/s penalty adding support for Twin/Wide cards was costing since
the last place in the commaon path of execution where we had to do ugly,
convoluted testing for the type of card in the sequencer has gone away.
Next stop tagged queuing and target mode.

0d56403998 At $Ids to all files. Have the sequencer use DMA to tranfer its SCB
(SCSI control block) instead of having the host PIO it down.  Also
reimplement WDTR and SDTR optimization to remove code in the sequencer
and place the responsibility of knowing when to initiate SDTR or WDTR
on the kernel driver.  This vastly shortens the sequencer program yet
yeilds the same performance.

8d244f9e3b Previous changes to the sequencer compiler backed out. We go back to
generating the .h file, and a pregenerated file is included.

0ef8c3017a John Aycock's aic7770 sequencer code and assembler. There is currently
a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the
GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested
before release.

Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting
aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards).  It does not support Wide
controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in
progress on getting both channels and running.

I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give
us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver.  These patches have
been submitted to the author.
