See a couple of patches on this linux-scsi thread, mostly between Jesse
Barnes and Andrew Vasquez:

	SCSI QLA not working on latest *-mm SN2
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=109537406715003&w=2

Or I got it working (I think - memory fuzzy know) without this patch, by
(1) disabling the CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2[123]?? options, and (2) applying the
following workaround patch:

--- 2.6.9-rc2-mm1.orig/arch/ia64/pci/pci.c	2004-09-16 07:45:58.000000000 -0700

Jesse - could you post on lkml the definitive guide to getting
2.6.9-rc2-mm1 working on Altix?
