Aic7xxx Driver Update:
o Determine more conclusively that a BIOS has initialized the
adapter before using "left over BIOS settings".
o Adapt to upcoming removal of cmd->target/channel/lun/host in 2.5.X
o Fix a memory leak on driver unload.
o Enable the pci_parity command line option and default to pci parity
error detection *disabled*. There are just too many broken VIA
chipsets out there.
o Move more functionality into aiclib to share with the aic79xx driver.
o Correct a few negotiation regressions.
o Don't bother doing full DV on devices that only support async transfers.
This should fix a few more of the reported problems with DV.
