  Sorry, I just remembered I forgot to include that.  I actually cvsup'ped
stable this yesterday. It still calls itself 2.1.7, but I guess it really
is 2.1.7++.  aic7xxx.c is rev 1.29.2.32 (stable version number).

  I just checked current and stable sources on ftp.freebsd.org, and it
appears that some things in aic7xxx.c haven't been committed to stable
yet, including changes to the NO_IDENT case.  These changes leave out the
panic.
