SCSI controller: Adaptec 2940UW
>Description:
Generic SCSI ioctl, particularly SCIOCCOMMAND, with data-in/out phase
fails if the size of data to be transferred is larger than a certain
threshold (approximately 128 bytes in my case).  The kernel dumps
"physio split the request.. cannot proceed" onto the console and the
ioctl returns -1 with errno=EIO, as programmed in /sys/scsi/scsi_ioctl.h.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run a program which uses a user-level SCSI command directly with
SCSI devices. (e.g. scsi(8), /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrecord)
>Fix:
None known.
