That's not correct.  There could be more than one WAIT RESELECT instruction.

(I'm also not sure why the "- 8", which causes the WAIT RESELECT opcode
to run again.  I think that, instead of that "- 8", you're missing a
call to lsi_wait_reselect where you set s->dsp = s->resel_dsp.  It makes
sense: after disconnecting from one target, you immediately fake a
reselect from the target.  This isn't quite right, the reselection
should be in lsi_transfer_data, but it's a start).

There is only one correct way to handle SCRIPTS instructions, and it's
the one that matches the data sheet.  In other words, even if we agree
to an incomplete solution it still must have some foundation in the
datasheet and parallel SCSI spec.  We have to adjust for the coalescing
of initiator/target/scripts that occurs in lsi53c895a.c, but that should
be it.

In particular, the reselection script is captured in WAIT RESELECT
because the data sheet says so:

  If the LSI53C895A is reselected, it fetches the next
  instruction from the address pointed to by the DMA
  SCRIPTS Pointer (DSP) register.

but LOAD AND STORE has nothing to do with reselection.
