And aic7xxx ``supports'' only that kind of ``residual'' ONLY
for SCSI READ, but is seems to use scsi_cmnd::bufflen for SCSI
WRITE.
Anyway, I consider this a bug as all data was read after a READ but by
setting scsi_cmd::resid in the low-level device driver (aic7xxx)
nothing works (fs layer)...

This message should probably be put somewhere right in
scsi_cmnd definition.
