  SVN rev 198529 on 2009-10-27 21:09:52Z by emaste
  
  MFC r188743,r188940
  
    Use outbound message register 0 instead of mailbox 7 in
    aac_{rx,rkt}_get_fwstatus, as done in Adaptec's vendor driver as well as
    the Linux drivers.

    SVN rev 188743 modified aac_rx_get_fwstatus to use the AAC_RX_OMR0
    register instead of AAC_RX_FWSTATUS, as that is the way it's done in
    Adaptec's vendor driver and in the Linux drivers.  (The same applies
    to aac_rkt_get_fwstatus as well.)
  
    However, a concern has been raised about the compatibility of this
    change and old hardware / firmware versions.  In the absense of
    specific information, revert to the original behaviour if the firmware
    does not support the "New comm." interface.  Users of old cards or
    firmware haven't reported the problems that are potentially solved by
    switching to OMR0.
