For 33C93 based adapters:
_sbic_no_dma set non-zero will disable DMA transfers.
The 53C710 driver always does DMA; _siop_no_dma actually means to not
use interrupts on the SCSI command. The 5380 driver doesn't do any DMA
period, but some drivers will use "psuedo-DMA", which can be disabled by
changing _sci_no_dma.
The 33C93 and 5380 drivers do not support disconnect, so there isn't
anything to control re-selection.
