I have an Adaptec AIC-7897 Ultra2 SCSI adapter on a system with 8G
of physical memory.  The adapter is using bounce buffers when DMA'ing
to memory >4G because of a bug in the aic7xxx driver.

This has been fixed in both the aic7xxx and aic79xx drivers for some

into the mainline trees.

Could you split up the new revisions into a series of reviewable
patches with clearly-defined individual scope and descriptive changelog
entries and post them (in your mail message, not as URL's) please? I
actually use this driver at home, so I'd like to be able to understand
what's going on with it. I suspect various others are of like mind.


Thanks,
