[PATCH?] aic7xxx crash on data overrun

[Petr Vandrovec]

Hello Justin,
   I'm not quite sure that this patch is correct thing to do, but
if I do not remove mod_timer() call from ahc_scb_timer_reset then
aic7xxx driver commits suicide on error recovery (at least from
data overrun).  Problem is that  scb->io_ctx->eh_timeout.function 
is NULL at that time and so BUG_ON(!timer->function) in mod_timer 
fires.

   As I was not able to find which function should be invoked in
5 seconds, I just removed this, and it now seems much happier -
it correctly recovers from test.

Recovery SCB completes


Without patch kernel got killed after 'Recovery SCB completes'
appeared with BUG at kernel/timer.c:292.

Patch is for 2.6.15-rc2.  Changes in aic7xxx_osm.h are just
cleanup - ahc_timer_reset was not used even before, 
ahc_scb_timer_reset is not used after removing its call from
aic7xxx_core.c
					Thanks,
