Doug Ledford is working on getting 7895 support into (probably)
the 2.0.x kernel.  He's getting (or already has) a motherboard
with the 7895 chipset on it to aid in testing.

I am going in another direction and working on creating a
FreeBSD compatible layer for the aic7xxx driver.  When done,
I hope to be able to plug in the FreeBSD driver with little
change to the code.  Since FreeBSD has 7895 support already,
7895 support for Linux will also be obtained.
