HP-UX 10.20 seems to make the lsi53c895a spinning on a memory location
under certain circumstances. As the SCSI controller and CPU are not
running at the same time this loop will never finish. After some
time, the check loop interrupts with a unexpected device disconnect.
This works, but is slow because the kernel resets the scsi controller.
Instead of signaling UDC, add an option 'hpux-spin-workaround' which
emulates a INTERRUPT 2 script instruction. This instruction tells the
kernel that the request was fulfilled. With this change, SCSI speeds
improves significantly.
The option can be enabled by adding
-global lsi53c895a.hpux-spin-workaround=on
to the qemu commandline.
