The new driver has higher throughput, so it may dig up termination
problems.

Pick up the following files from FreeBSD-current and map them
to their NetBSD equivelents.  There have already been some bug
fixes since the last drop of the driver into NetBSD.

sys/dev/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.seq
sys/i386/scsi/aic7xxx.c
sys/i386/scsi/aic7xxx.h
sys/pci/aic7870.c
