-			    AIC7xxx Driver for Linux
-
-Introduction
-----------------------------
-The AIC7xxx SCSI driver adds support for Adaptec (http://www.adaptec.com)
-SCSI controllers and chipsets. Major portions of the driver and driver
-development are shared between both Linux and FreeBSD. Support for the
-AIC-7xxx chipsets have been in the default Linux kernel since approximately
-linux-1.1.x and fairly stable since linux-1.2.x, and are also in FreeBSD
-2.1.0 or later.

-    
-  Boot Command line options
-  ------------------------------
-    "aic7xxx=no_reset" -  Eliminate the SCSI bus reset during startup.
-        Some SCSI devices need the initial reset that this option disables
-	in order to work.  If you have problems at bootup, please make sure
-	you aren't using this option.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=reverse_scan" - Certain PCI motherboards scan for devices at
-        bootup by scanning from the highest numbered PCI device to the
-	lowest numbered PCI device, others do just the opposite and scan
-	from lowest to highest numbered PCI device.  There is no reliable
-	way to autodetect this ordering.  So, we default to the most common
-	order, which is lowest to highest.  Then, in case your motherboard
-	scans from highest to lowest, we have this option.  If your BIOS
-	finds the drives on controller A before controller B but the linux
-	kernel finds your drives on controller B before A, then you should
-	use this option.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=extended" - Force the driver to detect extended drive translation
-        on your controller.  This helps those people who have cards without
-        a SEEPROM make sure that linux and all other operating systems think
-        the same way about your hard drives.
-
-    "aic7xxx=scbram" - Some cards have external SCB RAM that can be used to
-        give the card more hardware SCB slots.  This allows the driver to use
-	that SCB RAM.  Without this option, the driver won't touch the SCB
-	RAM because it is known to cause problems on a few cards out there
-	(such as 3985 class cards).
-	
-    "aic7xxx=irq_trigger:x" - Replace x with either 0 or 1 to force the kernel
-        to use the correct IRQ type for your card.  This only applies to EISA
-        based controllers.  On these controllers, 0 is for Edge triggered
-        interrupts, and 1 is for Level triggered interrupts.  If you aren't
-        sure or don't know which IRQ trigger type your EISA card uses, then
-        let the kernel autodetect the trigger type.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=verbose" - This option can be used in one of two ways.  If you
-        simply specify aic7xxx=verbose, then the kernel will automatically
-	pick the default set of verbose messages for you to see.
-	Alternatively, you can specify the command as 
-	"aic7xxx=verbose:0xXXXX" where the X entries are replaced with
-	hexadecimal digits.  This option is a bit field type option.  For
-	a full listing of the available options, search for the 
-	#define VERBOSE_xxxxxx lines in the aic7xxx.c file.  If you want
-	verbose messages, then it is recommended that you simply use the
-	aic7xxx=verbose variant of this command.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=pci_parity:x" - This option controls whether or not the driver
-        enables PCI parity error checking on the PCI bus.  By default, this
-        checking is disabled.  To enable the checks, simply specify pci_parity
-        with no value afterwords.  To reverse the parity from even to odd,
-        supply any number other than 0 or 255.  In short:
-          pci_parity     - Even parity checking (even is the normal PCI parity)
-          pci_parity:x   - Where x > 0, Odd parity checking
-          pci_parity:0   - No check (default)
-        NOTE: In order to get Even PCI parity checking, you must use the
-        version of the option that does not include the : and a number at
-        the end (unless you want to enter exactly 2^32 - 1 as the number).
-	
-    "aic7xxx=no_probe" - This option will disable the probing for any VLB
-        based 2842 controllers and any EISA based controllers.  This is
-	needed on certain newer motherboards where the normal EISA I/O ranges
-	have been claimed by other PCI devices.  Probing on those machines
-	will often result in the machine crashing or spontaneously rebooting
-	during startup.  Examples of machines that need this are the
-	Dell PowerEdge 6300 machines.
-
-    "aic7xxx=seltime:2" - This option controls how long the card waits
-        during a device selection sequence for the device to respond.
-	The original SCSI spec says that this "should be" 256ms.  This
-	is generally not required with modern devices.  However, some
-	very old SCSI I devices need the full 256ms.  Most modern devices
-	can run fine with only 64ms.  The default for this option is
-	64ms.  If you need to change this option, then use the following
-	table to set the proper value in the example above:
-	  0  -  256ms
-	  1  -  128ms
-	  2  -   64ms
-	  3  -   32ms
-	
-    "aic7xxx=panic_on_abort" - This option is for debugging and will cause
-        the driver to panic the linux kernel and freeze the system the first
-	time the drivers abort or reset routines are called.  This is most
-	helpful when some problem causes infinite reset loops that scroll too
-	fast to see.  By using this option, you can write down what the errors
-	actually are and send that information to me so it can be fixed.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=dump_card" - This option will print out the *entire* set of
-        configuration registers on the card during the init sequence.  This
-	is a debugging aid used to see exactly what state the card is in
-	when we finally finish our initialization routines.  If you don't
-	have documentation on the chipsets, this will do you absolutely
-	no good unless you are simply trying to write all the information
-	down in order to send it to me.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=dump_sequencer" - This is the same as the above options except
-        that instead of dumping the register contents on the card, this
-	option dumps the contents of the sequencer program RAM.  This gives
-	the ability to verify that the instructions downloaded to the
-	card's sequencer are indeed what they are supposed to be.  Again,
-	unless you have documentation to tell you how to interpret these
-	numbers, then it is totally useless.
-	
-    "aic7xxx=override_term:0xffffffff" - This option is used to force the
-    	termination on your SCSI controllers to a particular setting.  This
-	is a bit mask variable that applies for up to 8 aic7xxx SCSI channels.
-	Each channel gets 4 bits, divided as follows:
-	bit   3   2   1   0
-	      |   |   |   Enable/Disable Single Ended Low Byte Termination
-	      |   |   En/Disable Single Ended High Byte Termination
-	      |   En/Disable Low Byte LVD Termination
-	      En/Disable High Byte LVD Termination
-
-	The upper 2 bits that deal with LVD termination only apply to Ultra2
-	controllers.  Furthermore, due to the current Ultra2 controller
-	designs, these bits are tied together such that setting either bit
-	enables both low and high byte LVD termination.  It is not possible
-	to only set high or low byte LVD termination in this manner.  This is
-	an artifact of the BIOS definition on Ultra2 controllers.  For other
-	controllers, the only important bits are the two lowest bits.  Setting
-	the higher bits on non-Ultra2 controllers has no effect.  A few
-	examples of how to use this option:
-
-	Enable low and high byte termination on a non-ultra2 controller that
-	is the first aic7xxx controller (the correct bits are 0011), 
-	aic7xxx=override_term:0x3
-
-	Enable all termination on the third aic7xxx controller, high byte
-	termination on the second aic7xxx controller, and low and high byte
-	SE termination on the first aic7xxx controller 
-	(bits are 1111 0010 0011), 
-	aic7xxx=override_term:0xf23
-	
-	No attempt has been made to make this option non-cryptic.  It really
-	shouldn't be used except in dire circumstances, and if that happens,
-	I'm probably going to be telling you what to set this to anyway :)
-
-    "aic7xxx=stpwlev:0xffffffff" - This option is used to control the STPWLEV
-        bit in the DEVCONFIG PCI register.  Currently, this is one of the
-	very few registers that we have absolutely *no* way of detecting
-	what the variable should be.  It depends entirely on how the chipset
-	and external terminators were coupled by the card/motherboard maker.
-	Further, a chip reset (at power up) always sets this bit to 0.  If
-	there is no BIOS to run on the chipset/card (such as with a 2910C
-	or a motherboard controller with the BIOS totally disabled) then
-	the variable may not get set properly.  Of course, if the proper
-	setting was 0, then that's what it would be after the reset, but if
-	the proper setting is actually 1.....you get the picture.  Now, since
-	we can't detect this at all, I've added this option to force the
-	setting.  If you have a BIOS on your controller then you should never
-	need to use this option.  However, if you are having lots of SCSI
-	reset problems and can't seem to get them knocked out, this may help.
-
-	Here's a test to know for certain if you need this option.  Make
-	a boot floppy that you can use to boot your computer up and that
-	will detect the aic7xxx controller.  Next, power down your computer.
-	While it's down, unplug all SCSI cables from your Adaptec SCSI
-	controller.  Boot the system back up to the Adaptec EZ-SCSI BIOS
-	and then make sure that termination is enabled on your adapter (if
-	you have an Adaptec BIOS of course).  Next, boot up the floppy you
-	made and wait for it to detect the aic7xxx controller.  If the kernel
-	finds the controller fine, says scsi : x hosts and then tries to
-	detect your devices like normal, up to the point where it fails to
-	mount your root file system and panics, then you're fine.  If, on
-	the other hand, the system goes into an infinite reset loop, then
-	you need to use this option and/or the previous option to force the
-	proper termination settings on your controller.   If this happens,
-	then you next need to figure out what your settings should be.
-
-	To find the correct settings, power your machine back down, connect
-	back up the SCSI cables, and boot back into your machine like normal.
-	However, boot with the aic7xxx=verbose:0x39 option.  Record the
-	initial DEVCONFIG values for each of your aic7xxx controllers as
-	they are listed, and also record what the machine is detecting as
-	the proper termination on your controllers.  NOTE: the order in
-	which the initial DEVCONFIG values are printed out is not guaranteed
-	to be the same order as the SCSI controllers are registered.  The
-	above option and this option both work on the order of the SCSI
-	controllers as they are registered, so make sure you match the right
-	DEVCONFIG values with the right controllers if you have more than
-	one aic7xxx controller.
-
-	Once you have the detected termination settings and the initial
-	DEVCONFIG values for each controller, then figure out what the
-	termination on each of the controllers *should* be.  Hopefully, that
-	part is correct, but it could possibly be wrong if there is
-	bogus cable detection logic on your controller or something similar.
-	If all the controllers have the correct termination settings, then
-	don't set the aic7xxx=override_term variable at all, leave it alone.
-	Next, on any controllers that go into an infinite reset loop when
-	you unplug all the SCSI cables, get the starting DEVCONFIG value.
-	If the initial DEVCONFIG value is divisible by 2, then the correct
-	setting for that controller is 0.  If it's an odd num
