+ * revision 3.1a
+ - Changes from Eddie Dost for Sparc and Alpha:
+ ioremap/iounmap support for Sparc.
+ pcivtophys changed to bus_dvma_to_phys.
+ - Add the 53c876 description to the chip table. This is only usefull
+ for printing the right name of the controller.
+ - DEL-441 Item 2 work-around for the 53c876 rev <= 5 (0x15).
+ - Add additionnal checking of INQUIRY data:
+ Check INQUIRY data received length is at least 7. Byte 7 of
+ inquiry data contains device features bits and the driver might
+ be confused by garbage. Also check peripheral qualifier.
+ - Cleanup of the SCSI tasks management:
+ Remove the special case for 32 tags. Now the driver only uses the
+ scheme that allows up to 64 tags per LUN.
+ Merge some code from the 896 driver.
+ Use a 1,3,5,...MAXTAGS*2+1 tag numbering. Previous driver could
+ use any tag number from 1 to 253 and some non conformant devices
+ might have problems with large tag numbers.
+ - 'no_sync' changed to 'no_disc' in the README file. This is an old
+ and trivial mistake that seems to demonstrate the README file is
+ not often read. :)
