Thought so.

Ach, you don't trust me?

Seriously, yes I did test it here (Adaptec ASC-29320 U320).
The usual error applies (crashes on rmmod when disk-devices are
attached, removing devices by hand and rmmod afterwards works, though),
but apart from it seems to work.
And if not I can always blame the transport layer for it :-).
Next step is to connect an U320 drive to check it works properly.

As it happens I've just merged you aic branch with my update, so watch
this space. Next step is to include James' latest changes to aic7xxx
into the aic79xx also.

And I _really_ like to see the common parts merged.
Both drivers share a lot of code.

See above. And it only took me 4hrs to figure out the git stuff ...
