Subject[PATCH 37/61] SCSI: aic7xxx: pause sequencer before touching SBLKCTL
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>

[SCSI] aic7xxx: pause sequencer before touching SBLKCTL

Some cards need to pause the sequencer before the SBLKCTL register is
touched.  This fixes a PCI related oops seen on powerpc macs with this
card caused by trying to ascertain the bus signalling before beginning
domain validation.
