Automatically probe the board irq when no irq parameter is provided,
to simulate PnP. The old default behaviour was to disable the irq.
Update driver documentation accordingly and add some printk messages
to make this behaviour visible.

This file documents the NCR53c400 extensions by Kevin Lentin and some
enhancements to the NCR5380 core.
-This driver supports both NCR5380 and NCR53c400 cards in port or memory
-mapped modes. Currently this driver can only support one of those mapping
-modes at a time but it does support both of these chips at the same time.
-The next release of this driver will support port & memory mapped cards at
-the same time. It should be able to handle multiple different cards in the
-same machine.
+This driver supports NCR5380 and NCR53c400 and compatible cards in port or
+memory mapped modes.
-The drivers/scsi/Makefile has an override in it for the most common
-NCR53c400 card, the Trantor T130B in its default configuration:
- Port: 0x350
- IRQ : 5
+Use of an interrupt is recommended, if supported by the board, as this will
+allow targets to disconnect and thereby improve SCSI bus utilization.
+
+If the irq parameter is 254 or is omitted entirely, the driver will probe
+for the correct IRQ line automatically. If the irq parameter is 0 or 255
+then no IRQ will be used.
The NCR53c400 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is
supported by the driver.
