This patch moves aic7xxx over to the dma_get_required_mask() API and dumps its open coded memory check. It also appears from this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167049 That 39 bit addressing doesn't work on older cards. I surmise that the AHC_LARGE_SCBS flag is the one that marks cards capable of using 39 bit addressing, so I also folded that check into the code. Luben, since you have access to the docs, could you confirm this guess. Dave, could you see if this fixes the problem for the bug reporter.
