aha doesn't support being unloaded.  At the time it was written, CAM
drivers couldn't be unloaded.  So I never bothered to make it work
right.

Also, the aha driver was written before newbus, and then gradually
hacked to be more and more newbus-like until it has reached the state
it is in today, which is good enough to work, but has lots of nits
still.
