2001-04-30: MI driver for the Symbios/NCR 53c710 SCSI controller

Izumi Tsutsui has committed a MI driver for the Symbios/NCR 53c710 SCSI controller. It's based on NetBSD/amiga's siop driver, but is converted to use bus_space(9) functions and modified to fit bus_dma(9) framework.

This driver has been test on NetBSD/arc with jazzio 53c710 SCSI. Sync transfers and disconnect/reconnect are also working.

TODO:

• Test under more heavy load
• Clean up osiop_checkintr() handler
• Reorganize command queue and sync negotiation handling more suitable for the newly merged SCSI/ATAPI mid-layer rewrite in NetBSD-current.
• Re-think deferred interrupt handling for NetBSD/amiga.
