AHC_LARGE_SCBS means that the card can take 64 byte hardware SCBs.
Normally HSCBs are 32 bytes for older controllers.  Latter aic78xx and
all aic79xx chips support 64 byte HSCBs.  So this isn't related.

To fix this bug, you should only have to substitute
           ahc_linux_get_memsize() > 0x80000000
with
           dma_get_required_mask(dev) > DMA_32BIT_MASK,
to fix this issue (unless of course the kernel is confused too ;-) ).

All that the controller cares is if it will have to use 39 bits
to do DMA.  You want to set the DMA mask accordingly to how much
memory will have to be addressed _and_ where it will have to be
addressed.

You may also want to use Intel's PAE (64 MB) for doing that kind of
memory remap.
