twa breakage on AMD64 with 9.1.5.23wareversionand2005-01-1103:00:49 UTC RELENG_5 commit

[Vinod Kashyap]

I tried reproducing the problem on both i386 and amd64,
but could not.  I installed 5.3 RELEASE, cvsuped to the
tip of RELENG_5, re-built the kernel with twa integrated,
and rebooted.  The test systems booted just fine (off of
3ware controlled da0).  I even tried replacing just the
twa sources of 5.3 RELEASE with the twa sources from the
tip of RELENG_5, and that worked fine too.  All this,
without even upgrading the firmware from 2.02.00.008 (which
is bundled into 5.3 RELEASE sources).  So, I am confused as
to what might be happening.

Could you give the attached patch a try?  Just a hunch...
