Here are some further refinements to this patch with help
from Pat Mansfield:
     - replace vmalloc() with kmalloc(,GFP_KERNEL)
     - bump max sg devices from 8192 to 32768

Tested to 16k devices (and 8k devices on a box with 512MB
ram), Patch is against lk 2.6.6 (or 2.6.6-bk1).

I actually wanted to fix up the check_region usage there but got lost
in the mess.  Let's start by kicking out the 2.2 compat and using scsi
layer constants instead of their own redefinitions first.

This patch updates the 3w-9xxx driver in 2.6.7-rc2-mm1 to v2.26.02.000 to
cleanup several things pointed out by Chris Hellwig / Jeff Garzik.

Changes in this release:
  - Use descriptive defines for phase numbers.
  - Remove un-needed casts for TW_Command_Full
  - Rework eh_reset(), eh_abort() spinlocks.
  - Remove all mdelays, replace w/ schedule_timeout().
  - Remove MODULE_PARAM cmds_per_lun, add sysfs device attribute 'queue_depth'.
  - Remove twa_slave_configure().
  - Remove twa_info().
  - Remove all bitfields from structures, add bitmask macros.
  - Remove twa_setup_irq() wrapper, call directly.
  - Remove un-needed prototypes.
  - Propogate return value of pci_enable_device(), pci_set_dma_mask(), ioremap().
  - Use pci_request/free_regions().
  - Add missing call to pci_disable_device() on probe failure.
  - Unregister character ioctl interface in twa_remove().
  - Make some excessively lengthy lines < 80 columns.
  - Use pci_module_init() instead of pci_register_driver().
  - Remove bogus TW_IN_INTR check, fix twa_interrupt() spinlock.
  - Rev driver branch to .02 to denote kernel version.

Based on "eata_generic.h", this SCSI controller has 9 bytes of IO
space, not 8, so update request_region(), release_region(), and
n_io_port to use 9 instead of 8.

I converted your patch to use the DMA-API.  This will be necessary to
use the EISA advansys boards---Of course, EISA won't work properly until
the entire driver is converted to the driverfs probing API, sigh, but
I'll get around to that eventually.

OK, and I couldn't resist getting rid of the stupid in_isr locking on
the done function.

This patch improves some of the handling of PA-RISC tulip cards.

 - Introduce HAS_SWAPPED_SEEPROM and NEEDS_FAKE_MEDIA_TABLE
 - Only trigger this code on GSC machines.  The pure PCI machines don't
   have these cards.
 - Allow the chip_name to be overridden in tulip_init_one().
 - Fix some indentation.
 - Handle the output from tulip_read_eeprom() better.

the above means the following is needed for my drivers - please apply to 2.6:

i386 gets it implicitly from somewhere but some architectures don't.
Also move <asm/uaccess.h> down so we have asm after linux headers.

This happens because `hw' is only used when CONFIG_IXGB_NAPI is not set.
As `hw' is used only to have the code readable, we can use it for
