This may seem like a DILLIGAF, but after chatting with the F/W folks,
there is no harm in dropping the page calculation as denoted in the
enclosed patch for these older adapters in this new age of 4GB+ memory
sticks. Any resource optimization within the old-old-old adapters for
systems with less than 4G of memory is of little consequence. The
existing AAC_QUIRK_31BIT flag in linit.c should look after the rest of
the legacy hardware DMA limitations.

This patch adds the 'new comm' interface, which modern AAC based
adapters that are less than a year old support in the name of much
improved performance. These modern adapters support both the legacy and
the 'new comm' interfaces.

The size of the command packet's scatter gather list maximum size was
miscalculated in the low range leading to the driver initialization
limiting the maximum i/o size that could go to the Adapter. There were
no negative operational side effects resulting from this bad math, only
a subtle limit in performance of the Adapter at the top end of the
range.

In the rare instances where the adapter, or the motherboard, is
misbehaving; driver initialization or shutdown becomes problematic. By
introducing a 3 minute timeout on the first interrupt driven command
during initialization, or the issuance of the adapter shutdown command
during driver unload, we can resolve the lockup problems induced by
common (but rare) hardware misbehaviors.

The timeout during initialization, should it occur, is accompanied by a
message presented to the console and the logs indicating that the user
should inspect and resolve problems with interrupt routing.

There are a few adapters that are capable of creating devices with this large
of a capacity, but now that we have the large fib support in, the management
applications will be capable of generating them.  The problem is, once they are
created, the driver will not be able to access the devices correctly without
this patch.

Received from Mark Salyzyn from Adaptec:

If more than two commands are outstanding to the controller, there is no
need to notify the adapter via a PCI bus transaction of additional
commands added into the queue; it will get to them when it works through
the produce/consumer indexes.

This reduced the PCI traffic in the driver to submit a command to the
queue to near zero allowing a significant number of commands to be
turned around with no need to block for the PCI bridge to flush the
notify request to the adapter.

Interrupt mitigation has always been present in the driver; it was
turned off because of a bug that prevented one from realizing the
usefulness of the feature. This bug is fixed in this patch.

New code from the Adaptec driver.  Performance enhancement for newer
adapters.  I hope that this isn't too big for a single patch.  I believe
that other than the few small cleanups mentioned, that the changes are
all related.

- Added Variable FIB size negotiation for new adapters.
- Added support to maximize scatter gather tables and thus permit
  requests larger than 64KB/each.
- Limit Scatter Gather to 34 elements for ROMB platforms.
- aac_printf is only enabled with AAC_QUIRK_34SG
- Large FIB ioctl support
- some minor cleanup

Passes sparse check.
I have tested it on x86 and ppc64 machines.

This patch addresses the sparse -Wbitwise warnings that Christoph wanted
me to eliminate.  This mostly consisted of making data structure
elements of hardware associated structures the __le* equivalent.
Although there were a couple places where there was mixing of cpu and le
variable math.  These changes have been tested on both an x86 and ppc
machine running bonnie++.  The usage of the LE32_ALL_ONES macro has been
eliminated.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
