 Log Message:
 PR/33445: Brian Buhrow: Fix a number of problems with the pdcsata driver:
 
 > The driver for the family of Promise SATA controllers,
 > /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pdcsata.c is not very robust when it comes to handling
 > transient drive errors, or interrupt hickups when the card is under load.
 > Worse, my experience seems to indicate, and the Linux driver confirms,
 > that these cards tend to fall over rather frequently during high load
 > operations or if drives unexpectedly reset or go to sleep.  Symptoms
 > include interupt timeouts during heavy load, the inability to reset drives
 > if they go to sleep, and a failure of the card to generate interrupts at
 > all if the interrupt load gets too high.
