  Adaptec AHA-1520/1522 SCSI driver for Linux (aha152x)
  
  Copyright 1993-1999 Jürgen Fischer <fischer@norbit.de>
  TC1550 patches by Luuk van Dijk (ldz@xs4all.nl)
  
  
  In Revision 2 the driver was modified a lot (especially the
  bottom-half handler complete()).
  
  The driver is much cleaner now, has support for the new
  error handling code in 2.3, produced less cpu load (much
  less polling loops), has slightly higher throughput (at
  least on my ancient test box; a i486/33Mhz/20MB).
  
  
  CONFIGURATION ARGUMENTS:
  
  IOPORT        base io address                           (0x340/0x140)
  IRQ           interrupt level                           (9-12; default 11)
  SCSI_ID       scsi id of controller                     (0-7; default 7)
  RECONNECT     allow targets to disconnect from the bus  (0/1; default 1 [on])
  PARITY        enable parity checking                    (0/1; default 1 [on])
  SYNCHRONOUS   enable synchronous transfers              (0/1; default 1 [on])
  DELAY:        bus reset delay                           (default 100)
  EXT_TRANS:    enable extended translation               (0/1: default 0 [off])
                (see NOTES)
  
  COMPILE TIME CONFIGURATION (go into AHA152X in drivers/scsi/Makefile):
  
  -DAUTOCONF
   use configuration the controller reports (AHA-152x only)
  
  -DSKIP_BIOSTEST
   Don't test for BIOS signature (AHA-1510 or disabled BIOS)
  
  -DSETUP0="{ IOPORT, IRQ, SCSI_ID, RECONNECT, PARITY, SYNCHRONOUS, DELAY, EXT_TRANS }"
   override for the first controller 
  
  -DSETUP1="{ IOPORT, IRQ, SCSI_ID, RECONNECT, PARITY, SYNCHRONOUS, DELAY, EXT_TRANS }"
   override for the second controller
  
  -DAHA152X_DEBUG
   enable debugging output
  
  -DAHA152X_STAT
   enable some statistics
  
  
  LILO COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
  
  aha152x=<IOPORT>[,<IRQ>[,<SCSI-ID>[,<RECONNECT>[,<PARITY>[,<SYNCHRONOUS>[,<DELAY> [,<EXT_TRANS]]]]]]]
  
   The normal configuration can be overridden by specifying a command line.
   When you do this, the BIOS test is skipped. Entered values have to be
   valid (known).  Don't use values that aren't supported under normal
   operation.  If you think that you need other values: contact me.
   For two controllers use the aha152x statement twice.
  
  
  SYMBOLS FOR MODULE CONFIGURATION:
  
  Choose from 2 alternatives:
  
  1. specify everything (old)
  
  aha152x=IOPORT,IRQ,SCSI_ID,RECONNECT,PARITY,SYNCHRONOUS,DELAY,EXT_TRANS
    configuration override for first controller
  
  
  aha152x1=IOPORT,IRQ,SCSI_ID,RECONNECT,PARITY,SYNCHRONOUS,DELAY,EXT_TRANS
    configuration override for second controller
  
  2. specify only what you need to (irq or io is required; new)
  
  io=IOPORT0[,IOPORT1]
    IOPORT for first and second controller
  
  irq=IRQ0[,IRQ1]
    IRQ for first and second controller
  
  scsiid=SCSIID0[,SCSIID1]
    SCSIID for first and second controller
  
  reconnect=RECONNECT0[,RECONNECT1]
    allow targets to disconnect for first and second controller
  
  parity=PAR0[PAR1]
    use parity for first and second controller
  
  sync=SYNCHRONOUS0[,SYNCHRONOUS1]
    enable synchronous transfers for first and second controller
  
  delay=DELAY0[,DELAY1]
    reset DELAY for first and second controller
  
  exttrans=EXTTRANS0[,EXTTRANS1]
    enable extended translation for first and second controller
  
  
  If you use both alternatives the first will be taken.
  
  
  NOTES ON EXT_TRANS: 
  
  SCSI uses block numbers to address blocks/sectors on a device.
  The BIOS uses a cylinder/head/sector addressing scheme (C/H/S)
  scheme instead.  DOS expects a BIOS or driver that understands this
  C/H/S addressing.
  
  The number of cylinders/heads/sectors is called geometry and is required
  as base for requests in C/H/S addressing.  SCSI only knows about the
  total capacity of disks in blocks (sectors).
  
  Therefore the SCSI BIOS/DOS driver has to calculate a logical/virtual
  geometry just to be able to support that addressing scheme.  The geometry
  returned by the SCSI BIOS is a pure calculation and has nothing to
  do with the real/physical geometry of the disk (which is usually
  irrelevant anyway).
  
  Basically this has no impact at all on Linux, because it also uses block
  instead of C/H/S addressing.  Unfortunately C/H/S addressing is also used
  in the partition table and therefore every operating system has to know
  the right geometry to be able to interpret it.
  
  Moreover there are certain limitations to the C/H/S addressing scheme,
  namely the address space is limited to up to 255 heads, up to 63 sectors
  and a maximum of 1023 cylinders.
  
  The AHA-1522 BIOS calculates the geometry by fixing the number of heads
  to 64, the number of sectors to 32 and by calculating the number of
  cylinders by dividing the capacity reported by the disk by 64*32 (1 MB).
  This is considered to be the default translation.
  
  With respect to the limit of 1023 cylinders using C/H/S you can only
  address the first GB of your disk in the partition table.  Therefore
  BIOSes of some newer controllers based on the AIC-6260/6360 support
  extended translation.  This means that the BIOS uses 255 for heads,
  63 for sectors and then divides the capacity of the disk by 255*63
  (about 8 MB), as soon it sees a disk greater than 1 GB.  That results
  in a maximum of about 8 GB addressable diskspace in the partition table
  (but there are already bigger disks out there today).
  
  To make it even more complicated the translation mode might/might
  not be configurable in certain BIOS setups.
  
  This driver does some more or less failsafe guessing to get the
  geometry right in most cases:
  
  - for disks<1GB: use default translation (C/32/64)
  
  - for disks>1GB:
    - take current geometry from the partition table
      (using scsicam_bios_param and accept only `valid' geometries,
      ie. either (C/32/64) or (C/63/255)).  This can be extended translation
      even if it's not enabled in the driver.
  
    - if that fails, take extended translation if enabled by override,
      kernel or module parameter, otherwise take default translation and
      ask the user for verification.  This might on not yet partitioned
      disks.
