Patch below taken from RHEL3 Update 4 kernel 2.4.21-27.EL, fixes a bug
in the aic79xx and aic7xxx drivers, where upon trying to pause the
controller chip, it is accidentally hard-reset. This causes PCI
Parity errors to appear on Dell PowerEdge 4600 servers as the inb()
immediately after accidental reset receives corrupted data.
Patch was submitted by Justin Gibbs many moons ago, but never applied
to mainline 2.4. Marcelo, please apply.
