1) If a target initiated a sync negotiation with us and happened to chose a
value above 15, the old code inadvertantly truncated it with an "& 0x0f".
If the periferal picked something really bad like 0x32, you'd end up with
an offset of 2 which would hang the drive since it didn't expect to ever
get something so low. We now do a MIN(maxoffset, given_offset).
2) In the case of Wide cards, we were turning on sync transfers after a
sucessfull wide negotiation. Now we leave the offset alone in the per
target scratch space (which implies asyncronous transfers since we initialize
it that way) until a syncronous negotation occurs.
3) We were advertizing a max offset of 15 instead of 8 for wide devices.
4) If the upper level SCSI code sent down a "SCSI_RESET", it would hang the
system because we would end up sending a null command to the sequencer. Now
we handle SCSI_RESET correctly by having the sequencer interrupt us when it
is about to fill the message buffer so that we can fill it in ourselves.
The sequencer will also "simulate" a command complete for these "message only"
SCBs so that the kernel driver can finish up properly. The cdplay utility
will send a "SCSI_REST" to the cdplayer if you use the reset command.
5) The code that handles SCSIINTs was broken in that if more than one type
of error was true at once, we'd do outbs without the card being paused.
The else clause after the busfree case was also an accident waiting to
happen. I've now turned this into an if, else if, else type of thing, since
in most cases when we handle one type of error, it should be okay to ignore
the rest (ie if we have a SELTO, who cares if there was a parity error on
the transaction?), but the section should really be rewritten after 2.0.5.
This fix was the least obtrusive way to patch the problem.
6) Only tag either SDTR or WDTR negotiation on an SCB. The real problem is
that I don't account for the case when an SCB that is tagged to do a particular
type of negotiation completes or SELTOs (selection timeout) without the
negotiation taking place, so the accounting of sdtrpending and wdtrpending
gets screwed up. In the wide case, if we tag it to do both wdtr and sdtr,
it only performs wdtr (since wdtr must occur first and we spread out the
negotiation over two commands) so we always have sdtrpending set for that
target and we never do a real SDTR. I fill properly fix the accounting
after 2.0.5 goes out the door, but this works (as confirmed by Dan) on
wide targets.
Other stuff that is also included:
1) Don't do a bzero when recycling SCBs. The only thing that must explicitly
be set to zero is the scb control byte which is done in ahc_get_scb. We also
need to set the SG_list_pointer and SG_list_count to 0 for commands that do
not transfer data.
2) Mask the interrupt type printout for the aic7870 case. The bit we were
using to determine interrupt type is only valid for the aic7770.

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.

Restructure the get_scb routine so that we can't get into an infinite

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).

- catch the interrupt type (EDGE/LEVEL) before chip reset instead
of guessing the right type.
- Add pause variable to the ahc struct to better handle the different
interrupt types and pausing the sequencer.

- Report valid residual byte counts.
- Don't mess with the target scratch areas > id 8 on single, narrow,
channel devices. The BIOS does a checksum of this area and can
flip out if we zero it out.
- Initialize the sequencer FLAGS scratch ram variable in the single
channel devices to 0. This was the cause of the annoying warning
where we would get a cmdcmplt the first time we did any type of
transfer negotiation with no valid scb. It also fixes the problem
that looked like the INTSTAT register wasn't clearing fast enough.

- clear the sync offset section of the targ scratch area so that

for wide controllers because there was a scenario where the
offset wouldn't get updated before a data(out/in) phase would

were depending on this field to hold the rate to negotiate.
