    I have been running a Compaq DL360 with cac(4) [a Smart Array 5i if I 
 remember correctly] for some time with little problem.  No problems like 
 reported in this PR, just some trouble some times with code changes such 
 as the softc/device_t split.  There is a slight annoynance of a warning 
 message that I haven't bothered shutting up yet - 'cac0: unable to alloc 
 CCB', due to the ld(4) layer not knowing how many outstanding requests can 
 be sent to the cac(4) driver.  I do not remember what version of NetBSD I 
 first started using with this machine, but probably nothing earlier than 
 4.0-ish.
