Actually, that driver was already switched to CAM earlier. I ported
it to NetBSD by translating all CAM bits to our SCSI layer. Not
long after that, a big round of changed went in together with
full DT (160) support, which I never got around to looking at.

Since the driver now appears to have split off parts for OS-dependent
interfaces, (of which Linux is one), porting it again should be easier.
It would be a waste to port the current driver, really.

I suggested this in a mail to Manuel, but forgot to Cc this list.
