                      specifying "no_probe" will enable this probing.
                      If the driver is compiled to probe EISA/VLB
                      controllers by default, specifying "no_probe"
                      will disable this probing.
     Possible Values: This option is a toggle
       Default Value: EISA/VLB probing is disabled by default.
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: pci_parity
          Definition: Toggles the detection of PCI parity errors.
                      On many motherboards with VIA chipsets,
                      PCI parity is not generated correctly on the
                      PCI bus.  It is impossible for the hardware to
                      differentiate between these "spurious" parity
                      errors and real parity errors.  The symptom of
                      this problem is a stream of the message:
    "scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during address or write data phase"
                      output by the driver.
     Possible Values: This option is a toggle
       Default Value: PCI Parity Error reporting is disabled
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: no_reset
          Definition: Do not reset the bus during the initial probe
                      phase
     Possible Values: This option is a flag
       Default Value: disabled
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: extended
          Definition: Force extended translation on the controller
     Possible Values: This option is a flag
       Default Value: disabled
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: periodic_otag
          Definition: Send an ordered tag periodically to prevent
                      tag starvation.  Needed for some older devices
     Possible Values: This option is a flag
       Default Value: disabled
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: reverse_scan
          Definition: Probe the scsi bus in reverse order, starting
                      with target 15
     Possible Values: This option is a flag
       Default Value: disabled
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: global_tag_depth:[value]
          Definition: Global tag depth for all targets on all busses.
                      This option sets the default tag depth which
                      may be selectively overridden vi the tag_info
                      option.
     Possible Values: 1 - 253
       Default Value: 32
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: tag_info:{{value[,value...]}[,{value[,value...]}...]}
          Definition: Set the per-target tagged queue depth on a
                      per controller basis.  Both controllers and targets
                      may be ommitted indicating that they should retain
                      the default tag depth.
            Examples: tag_info:{{16,32,32,64,8,8,,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32}
                        On Controller 0
                          specifies a tag depth of 16 for target 0
                          specifies a tag depth of 64 for target 3
                          specifies a tag depth of 8 for targets 4 and 5
                          leaves target 6 at the default
                          specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 1,2,7-15
                        All other targets retain the default depth.

                      tag_info:{{},{32,,32}}
                        On Controller 1
                          specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 0 and 2
                        All other targets retain the default depth.
                        
     Possible Values: 1 - 253
       Default Value: 32
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: seltime:[value]
          Definition: Specifies the selection timeout value
     Possible Values: 0 = 256ms, 1 = 128ms, 2 = 64ms, 3 = 32ms
       Default Value: 0
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
              Option: dv: {value[,value...]} 
          Definition: Set Domain Validation Policy on a per-controller basis.
                      Controllers may be ommitted indicating that
                      they should retain the default read streaming setting.
             Example: dv:{-1,0,,1,1,0}
                        On Controller 0 leave DV at its default setting.
                        On Controller 1 disable DV.
                        Skip configuration on Controller 2.
                        On Controllers 3 and 4 enable DV.
                        On Controller 5 disable DV.

     Possible Values: < 0 Use setting from serial EEPROM.
                      0 Disable DV
                      > 0 Enable DV

       Default Value: SCSI-Select setting on controllers with a SCSI Select
                      option for DV.  Otherwise, on for controllers supporting
                      U160 speeds and off for all other controller types.
   -----------------------------------------------------------------

   Example:
   'options aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose,no_probe,tag_info:{{},{,,10}},seltime:1"
        enables verbose logging, Disable EISA/VLB probing,
        and set tag depth on Controller 1/Target 2 to 10 tags.
