[RELENG_5_3] Strange timeout of mpt(4) with disk array

[Xin LI]

(bcc'ed to -CURRENT)
Dear folks,

I got a strange problem with mpt(4) when connecting with a disk array.
The disk array works well when working under 160M/s mode, and 320M/s mode
for RELENG_4 and Linux 2.4.20-8(?) from a stock RedHat 9 installation.

I am trying to figure out what is happening in our mpt(4) driver which
has caused this.  Any help is appreciated.  More information upon request.

The message I got from the console (hand-copyed and typed)
mpt1: timeout on request index=0xf0 sequence=0x00000084
mpt1: status 00000001; mask 00000001; Doorbell 24000000
request state on chip
