+ * version sym53c8xx-1.5g
+ - Change messages written by the driver at initialisation and
+ through the /proc FS (rather cosmetic changes that consist in
+ printing out the PCI bus number and PCI device/function).
+ - Ensure the SCRIPTS processor is stopped while calibrating the
+ SCSI clock (the initialisation code has been a bit reworked).
+ Change moved to the FreeBSD sym_hipd driver).
+ - Some fixes in the MODIFY_DP/IGN_RESIDUE code and residual
+ calculation (moved from FreeBSD sym_hipd driver).
+ - Add NVRAM support for Tekram boards that use 24C16 EEPROM.
+ Code moved from the FreeBSD sym_hipd driver, since it has
+ been that one that got this feature first.
+ - Definitely disable overlapped PCI arbitration for all dual
+ function chips, since I cannot make sure for what chip revisions
+ it is actually safe.
+ - Add support for the SYM53C1510D (also for ncr53c8xx).
+ - Fix up properly the PCI latency timer when needed or asked for.
+ - Get rid of the old PCI bios interface, but preserve kernel 2.0
+ compatibility from a simple wrapper.
+ - Update the poor Tekram sync factor table.
+ - Fix in a tiny 'printk' bug that may oops in case of extended
+ errors (unrecovered parity error, data overrun, etc ...)
+ (Sent by Pamela Delaney from LSILOGIC)
+ - Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the
+ io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+ - Change get_pages by GetPages since Linux >= 2.3.27 now wants
+ get_pages to ever be used as a kernel symbol (from 2.3.27).
+ - proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
