I'll simply add the location of these patches :)  The patches against 2.0.33
can be found at ftp.dialnet.net in /pub/linux/aic7xxx and the latest is
aic7xxx-5.0.8-patch.gz.  The FreeBSD is, as was originally mentioned, in the
latest CAM driver snapshots.  The FreeBSD code can be found at
ftp.FreeBSD.org in /pub/freebsd/cam (I think, is that right Justin)?
