Subject: [PATCH] aic7xxx driver. Restrict DMA to 32bit for 29320LPE
Adaptec SCSI controller

Contribution:

Anil Ravindranath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Issue:

Data Bursts that cross from 32- to 64-Bit address space have incorrect
address for 29320LPE. This leads to potential data corruption.

Fix:

Restrict DMA to 32bit so that it does not cross 4GB boundary.

Change Log:

Restrict DMA to 32bit for 29320LPE so that it does not cross 4GB
boundary

Patch: apply to scsi-misc-2.6.git development tree
