AIC7xxx, v5.1.28 is broken ...(in 15pre14)

Adaptec 7890 with Western Digital:
        Model: WDIGTL Model: WDE18310 ULTRA2 Rev: 1.30

It works with 2 other drive types, but not the WD.

It *DID* work in 5.1.20 (still does if I put the old driver in the
new kernel). Note that it broke with 5.1.21 when alot of changes
were made for 7890's.

This affects *two* different systems, each with a 7890 and each with
a WD as a 2nd or third drive. So it is not just 1 bad drive or 1 bad
controller. System is a Dell 410 that has the 7890 on the motherboard
with a Dell bios.

Symptom: Continual SCSI timeouts and resets when trying to mkfs
        the drive (1 big
        partition). System effectively hangs -- entire SCSI bus is
        locked up even for the drives that work. Basically, I do
        a 'umount -a' in single user before running this "test".
