Currently, it could be supported with only minor changes, but not at Ultra 2
speeds.  It would probably take some more work to get the Ultra 2 speeds up
and running.  For right now, since it hasn't been tested and I'm not
positive that it would work even as a regular Ultra controller, I
intentionally left any reference to that and the 7891 chipset out of the
patch to pci.c and pci.h, as well as aic7xxx.c.  Without the proper numbers
plugged in the right places in these files, the cards will simply get
ignored as not being supported by the driver at all.
