as side-effect, removed some legacy code that was necessary
when we called vm_fault inside of vm_fault_quick instead of using
the kernel/user space byte move routines.
algorithm is used on aic7770 Rev E or higher chips to improve perfomance.
This required a hardware change but we don't know exactly what (most
likely some special register to do fast SCB indexing into host memory),
and we are not at all sure that there are more than 4 SCBs on these
chips. This probe will still classify the revision of the aic7xxx, but
we now default to 4 SCBs (at least until we know more of what was done).
This also fixes a bug in the timeout routine where we cleared a flag
too soon making it imposible to enter one section of the routine.

interrupts to zero to start with. This is the value we return in
most cases. The sense code then outbs the apropriate value to cause
sense retrieval. The return value was uninitialized before this
change (something that was an okay thing with the old sequencer code,
but not with the semantics of the new).
This problem caused us to always retrieve sense upon recieving a non
zero status byte. This is exactly what was happening for the "target
busy" status returned by exabyte tape drives when they rewind or
power on with a tape installed. The request sense proved fatal.
This should fix the tape problems.
It is the kernel driver's responsibility to do the list manipulation whenever
a selection timeout or a request sense occurs.
Print out the interrupt type that the device has been set to. It seems that
one of the Asus motherboards botches this and David thought a diagnostic would
be nice.
Fix a bug in my diagnostic code that David found.

to be `int' or smaller and some functions returned `int' instead
of `void'. The first bug was detected when console functions were
defined in a place central enough for type checking to actually
work and the second bug was introduced when the interface was
changed to match what the console functions in other drivers actually
return.
through the use of the config file flags as opposed to the option
"NSECS_MULTI". "NSECS_MULTI" has been removed from the driver.
The new capability allows boot-time modification of the config.
I made the changes I sent you before. In the interests of cleanliness, I made
modifications to /sys/i386/isa/tw.c to kill the warnings and make it compile
clean. While I was at it, I also made a bunch of internal functions static.

higher level scsi code.
Spls should never be conditionalized, so don't do so here.
Restructure the get_scb routine so that we can't get into an infinite
loop if the ccbs are exhausted and we are are called with SCSI_NOSLEEP set.
Other driver maintainer's that based their scb allocation routines on Julian's
code should look at these changes and implement them for their driver.
The aic7xxx driver inspired these changes because early revs of the
aic7770 chips have so few SCBs that you can actually run out. If you
have a rev C or aic7770 (as is reported by the driver probe) and had more
than 2 drives, you could get into an infinite loop when using up all of
the SCBs. Since the driver will only allow two SCBs per device and I
only had two devices, I never saw this problem on my Rev C card.
Bzero only 19 bytes of the scb instead of 2k (ack!). This was a hold
over from when a struct SCB only contained the information downloaded
to the board, but we now store kernel driver data in there as well. This
greatly lowers the overhead for small transactions (I get ~1MB/sec for
dds with a 512 byte block size).

don't expect this to work yet.. but at least they're here..
(hey this cvs stuff is fun!)
activate with a line exactly like the isa line in the config file,
(but specifying eisa :)
patches to come..
