Because of the rudimentary design of the chip, it is necessary to poll the
SCSI bus signals during PIO and this tends to hog the CPU. The driver will
accept new commands while others execute, and this causes a soft lockup
because the workqueue item will not terminate until the issue queue is
emptied.
When exercising dmx3191d using sequential IO from dd, the driver is sent
512 KiB WRITE commands and 128 KiB READs. For a PIO transfer, the rate is
is only about 300 KiB/s, so these are long-running commands. And although
PDMA may run at several MiB/s, interrupts are disabled for the duration
of the transfer.
Fix the unresponsiveness and soft lockup issues by calling cond_resched()
after each command is completed and by limiting max_sectors for drivers
that don't implement real DMA.

The NCR5380 drivers have a home-spun linked list implementation for
scsi_cmnd structs that uses cmd->host_scribble as a 'next' pointer. Adopt
the standard list_head data structure and list operations instead. Remove
the eh_abort_handler rather than convert it. Doing the conversion would
only be churn because the existing EH handlers don't work and get replaced
in a subsequent patch.

This patch splits the NCR5380_init() function into two parts, similar
to the scheme used with atari_NCR5380.c. This avoids two problems.
Firstly, NCR5380_init() may perform a bus reset, which would cause the
chip to assert IRQ. The chip is unable to mask its bus reset interrupt.
Drivers can't call request_irq() before calling NCR5380_init(), because
initialization must happen before the interrupt handler executes. If
driver initialization causes an interrupt it may be problematic on some
platforms. To avoid that, first move the bus reset code into
NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus().
Secondly, NCR5380_init() contains some board-specific interrupt setup code
for the NCR53C400 that does not belong in the core driver. In moving this
code, better not re-order interrupt initialization and bus reset. Again,
the solution is to move the bus reset code into NCR5380_maybe_reset_bus().

The NCR5380_local_declare and NCR5380_setup macros exist to define and
initialize a particular local variable, to provide the address of the
chip registers needed for the driver's implementation of its
NCR5380_read/write register access macros.
In cumana_1 and macscsi, these macros generate pointless code like this,
struct Scsi_Host *_instance;
_instance = instance;
In pas16, the use of NCR5380_read/write in pas16_hw_detect() requires that
the io_port local variable has been defined and initialized, but the
NCR5380_local_declare and NCR5380_setup macros can't be used for that
purpose because the Scsi_Host struct has not yet been instantiated.
Moreover, these macros were removed from atari_NCR5380.c long ago and
now they constitute yet another discrepancy between the two core driver
forks.
Remove these "optimizations".

If the host->info() method is not set, then host->name is used by default.
For atari_scsi, that is exactly the same text. So remove the redundant
info() method. Keep sun3_scsi.c in line with atari_scsi.
Some NCR5380 drivers return an empty string from the info() method
(arm/cumana_1.c arm/oak.c mac_scsi.c) while other drivers use the default
(dmx3191d dtc.c g_NCR5380.c pas16.c t128.c).
Implement a common info() method to replace a lot of duplicated code which
the various drivers use to announce the same information.
This replaces most of the (deprecated) show_info() output and all of the
NCR5380_print_info() output. This also eliminates a bunch of code in
g_NCR5380 which just duplicates functionality in the core driver.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

infrastructure for it.
