Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/dev/pci
In directory nb00:/tmp/cvs-serv18372

Modified Files:
	isp_pci.c 
Log Message:
Part A (Cosmetic nonsense):
>We're not Linux.  If we still want driver version strings to be displayed
>at boot, then I suppose DEBUG is a reasonable compromise.
Makes the whole concept useless. This is for default printouts. If you
can build a debug kernel, you know what version you have. This was under
the concept of 'RAS' so that hapless users could tell you microversion   
things. But I guess this isn't the right way according to our local
Jesuits. Oh, well. I'll think up something different and hopefully
less objectionable. And yes, NetBSD isn't linux. The developers seem
to be equally bad tempered, but linux is more successful.

Part B:
Field interrupts in OS layer so that (in this OS) bus_dmamap_sync(POSTREAD)
can (formally) ensure that the result queue is stable wrt to buffering
and that for sending a command a bus_dmamap_sync(PREWRITE) is done to
ensure that the device gets a good view of what the mailbox contents
should be.
