Thanks.  There's unfortunately still an outstanding problem I can't fix.
It seems that after a certain number of repetitions of a failing
command, the entire card locks up and the sequencer always returns
SAM_STAT_BUSY to any new commands.  This is a bit of a problem for the
scsi mid-layer because it blindly always retries SAM_STAT_BUSY and
SAM_STAT_QUEUE_FULL.  The only way to recover from this is to issue a
bus reset.

This condition, I think, is what causes some of the hang reports about
this driver.  However, I think I see the code in the sequencer which is
causing it (target_cmdphase) but I don't have enough information about
the sequencer to fix this.
