aic7xxx with 2.4.9 on 7899P

[Sven Heinicke]

It's always a blessing and a curse when people seem to be haveing
problems with the same drivers as you.  I started looking into this
when I user complained about disk access time.  I think this is
related to the running aic7xxx topics.

bonnie++, was writing slower then some of my my IDE drives on a
different system.  I tried Red Hat's 2.4.3-12smp kernel and got a
little improvement.  I then built 2.4.9 and started running bonnie++
again and my syslog gets filled up with such errors:

Aug 20 14:23:33 ps1 kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order all
Aug 20 14:23:36 ps1 last message repeated 376 times
Aug 20 14:23:36 ps1 kernel: ed.

Aug 20 14:23:44 ps1 kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order all
Aug 20 14:23:44 ps1 last message repeated 363 times

With slow access time.  Please request more info if you think it might
help.
