A race condition existed that could result in a lost completion of a
command to the ppc based cards.

Add the ability to adjust for unusual corner case failures. Both of
these additional module parameters deal with embedded, non-intel or
complicated system scenarios.

Aif_timeout can be increased past the default 2 minute timeout to drop
application registrations when a system has an unusually high event load
resulting from continuing management requests, or simultaneous builds,
or sluggish user space as a result of system load.

Startup_timeout can be increased past the default 3 minute timeout to
drop an adapter initialization for systems that have a very large number
of targets, or slow to spin-up targets, or a complicated set of array
configurations that extend the time for the firmware to declare that it
is operational. This timeout would only have an affect on non-intel
based systems, as the (more patient) BIOS would generally be where the
startup delay would be dealt with.

Remove superfluous code, optimize code, harden code, cast code, correct
some text, use msleep instead of schedule_timeout_interruptible. No
bugs.

Use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() instead of
set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size.

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.

Add in pci shutdown method so that the adapter shuts down correctly and
flushes its cache. Shutdown should also disable the adapter's interrupt
when shutdown (in particularly if the driver is rmmod'd) to prevent
spurious hardware activities.

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!
