I integrated the 64 bit / RISC changes into the NCR53c810 development
sources, and put the new version up for anonymous ftp at

tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/Linux/ALPHA/scsi/ncr53c810

Highlights include

- Support for one SCSI command per LUN on the bus at a time,
plus an arbitrary number having propogated to the low level
driver.
- Disconnect/reconnect
(No bus lockouts when using tape drives)
- Synchronous transfers
(Double the performance with Seagate Baracuudas that don't like async)
- Better error recovery code
(Fewer crashes when you get hard errors)

The sources drop in 1.2.x kernels and some 1.3.x kernels and compile
with the only warnings from the "unused" kgdb functions, a short
diff is also provided to make them work on i86 1.3.45.

Some brave soul should try it out on an ALPHA, and fix any oversights
which don't cause problems on i86 machines but break on ALPHA boxen.
