Tested on alpha by cgd, tested on several i386 boxes. Certainly causes
no harm to the goddamned mess, but the NCR driver only works when you
perform voodoo rituals on it anyway.
This is what Dave said (in email) has been added to the driver:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This seems to be the most significant change:
General cleanup and new features for 53c875 based cards, especially the
Tekram DC390W/U/F, whose config EEPROM can now be dumped, if the kernel
is built with option NCR_TEKRAM_EEPROM.
Other changes:
- add brackets to expansion of OUTB/W/L macro arguments.
- remove unused NCB structure element ns_async
- support sync. SCSI offset of 16 (instead of only 8) on 825A and 875
- correctly identify 53c810A and 53c825A chips
- preserve SCSI BIOS settings of PCI performance options
- remove (already disabled) support for NCR reset because of command timeout
- reverse order of reading of SCSI and DMA specific interrupt cause registers
- add definition of Tekram config EEPROM contents (not currently used)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Newer boards (e.g., Vortex) take time to reset, and wedge on some machines.
Polling on S_COMMAND_IN_PROGRESS would be better, but that doesn't
work with xx_RESET commands on 3c509s.
CONFIG_CNTRL bits by making the "conn" argument to epconfig()
a u_int, not a u_int16_t, and by defining 100mbit media
bits in the upper 16 bits.
A redesigned interface that fixes this properly is in the pipeline.
comments in pr port-i386/2358: "if_ep/3C590 no longer working"
* Only call Vortex media-config code on PCI-attached devices, until
we know if it works on ISA and EISA large-packet devices also.
* Fix typo in printf of MAC address
rather than unknown.
* Look for 100mbit interfaces, and for any present, set corresponding
bits in `conn' argument to epconfig(). epconfig() will now print
100Mbit media by name.
look for 100mbit Xcvrs, print their names, add to ep_connectors.
* Print 10baseT as 10baseT, since media name (utp) is no longer a unique
transceiver type.
* Redo FIFO memory size printing, also show Tx/Rx split (xxx isa 3c509?).
* Print MAC address on a separate line, with 100Mbit media and fifo-ram
info it no longer fits on the same line as media types.
* Comment the fact that the "connection" media-selection code just doesn't
grok 100Mbit media.
* add code to look for 3c59x/3c90x media-select and autoconfig bits, though
we don't yet dynamically probe media when the autoconfig bit is set
(see previous bullet).
* XXX the whole connector/media code should be redone, perhaps a' la
the BSDI ifmedia design.
For now, we really only need 8 bits of media type.
* Add bogus definitions for 100mbit transcievers, to be set in the
"conn" argument to ep_config(). Should really use the same bits
as in EP_W0_CONFIG_CTRL bits, but I don't know what bits the 3c515
&c use for 100mbit media.
* Define bitflags for 100Mbit transceiver options in ep_connectors.
* Add definitions of powerup/powerdown commands. for interfaces with
power management. Should send a powerup after APM resume?
* Add definition of fragment-busmaster (vortex) START_DMA command.
* Add definition of PCI configuration-space media-present bits.
(really just EP_W3_RESET_OPTIONS remapped into pci config space.)
* Add comments describing what the #define's above are used for.

bit from the extended setup inquiry and key off it to:
- Force synchronous negotiation on targs > 7.
- Read additional information returned by wide cards on inquire setup.
- Read sync period on targs > 7.
- Display sync period/offset on targs > 7.
- Set scsi_link.max_target to 15.
cvs: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
host adapter drivers, indicating the highest SCSI target they can
address. Use this value to dynamically allocate data structures, rather
than hard-coding 8 targets.
These changes allow targets > 7 to be addressed on wide SCSI busses.
Fixes PRs #1674 and #2892.
Add newline to `Interface disabled' printf and clean up formatting.
Change packet read/write code to align all reads and writes into
memory to an appropriate boundary for the I/O size. This also fixes
a bug where the trailing unaligned bytes (1-3 of them) would be
put in an additional mbuf even if there was enough space for them
in the one we were currently filling.
This has been tested on a 3c905 in an Alpha (32-bit I/O, alignment
required), a 3c905 in an i386 (32-bit I/O, alignment not required)
and a 3c509 in an i386 (16-bit I/O, alignment not required). It
should be tested on a 3c509 in an Alpha with an ISA bus, if somone
can manage to get the two items together.
There are still some bugs in the driver relating to initialisation;
on my Alpha with a 3c905 you need to do an `ifconfig ep0 down;
ifconfig ep0 up' after the initial ifconfig to make it start working.
Apparently there are also some problems with a 3c579 in an i386,
although a 3c905 in an i386 works just fine.
