+ 6000 and 5000 series controllers.
+ Reduce polling mdelays causing problems on some systems.
+ Fix use_sg = 1 calculation bug.
+ Check for scsi_register returning NULL.
+ Add aen count to /proc/scsi/3w-xxxx.
+ Remove aen code unit masking in tw_aen_complete().
+ 1.02.00.006 - Remove unit from printk in tw_scsi_eh_abort(), causing

+ if done function pointer was invalid.
