This patch fixes DMA bugs on x86-64 and ia64 machines.  The driver was
using commands that only support 32bit addresses in places that could
return 64bit addresses.  One place was DMAing off the stack.  The other
place was causing problems on x86-64 machines by calling pci_map()
functions on a region allocated by pci_alloc_consistent().

This patch fixes two minor bugs.  It allows zero length write commands
through to devices.  It also prevents the writing of any  '\0'
characters at the end of version numbers to ips's /proc/scsi files.

This is the qlogic driver version 8.00.00b7 with the ioctl and failover code stripped
out and a few associated fixes put in.

From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

The problem is that the detect function requests an IO region
of 16 bytes (at least when a command line override parameter is
used) but the release function only tries to release 8 bytes,
and this request isn't done because it doesn't match any allocated
IO region.  [NCR53C400 extensions are not enabled, so
NCR5380_region_size is 8, not 16, but the request uses
NCR5380_region_size regardless.]

Fix: save the allocated region size in instance->n_io_ports and release
   that size only;

This problem was the bug of packet_set_ring(). packet_set_ring()
removes the hook for preparation of ring buffer, but it didn't
restore.

Also it's leaking the refcount of sk.

Fixes build on some platforms.

Decnet exposes itself to proc and packets before it has finished initializing.
This was always a race, but the notifier replay might expose it worse.

  This was broken by the last commit for cdev stuff which removed the
  "int ret;" that these routines used.

  Retire our char device dispatching logic.  With the 2.6 cdev API we
  can register much smaller device number regions, so we use that instead.

Thanks for this report; you uncovered a real bug.  Actually two real
bugs; one is that parisc is not discarding the .init.text and .exit.text
sections (so I didn't notice this bug) and the other is that sym_detach
is marked __devexit, yet called from a __devinit function.
