Yowza! Let's see..... the F/W returned a TRANSPORT ERROR- the target
disconnected after getting the command block- why that caused the f/w to
blow the command away- I dunno. I sure haven't seen this is in years.

The mboxcmd tiemout#2 is weird- this is a secondary problem as the timeout
code has kicked in, and it's a really weak area of the driver. So- this
failed, and then it gave up and tried to rempletely reinit the HBA, but
*that* blew chunks when it was trying to reset the adapter entirely.

This caused all subsequent commands to hang and die because the the
adapter hadn't come into runstate. Bad news, Batman... The later async
4001 means that the ISP finally woke up and and decided that  the attempt
to set initiator ID was an illegal command.

Looking more closely at the mbox failure, the dump of registers indicates
a DATA DMA fifo overrun condition.=20

What does this all mean and what can be done? Jeez- that's tougher. Can
you reproduce this at will or was it a one time?
