[SCSI] aacraid: initialization timeout
Received from Mark Salyzyn from Adaptec. In the rare instances where the adapter, or the motherboard, is misbehaving; driver initialization or shutdown becomes problematic. By introducing a 3 minute timeout on the first interrupt driven command during initialization, or the issuance of the adapter shutdown command during driver unload, we can resolve the lockup problems induced by common (but rare) hardware misbehaviors. The timeout during initialization, should it occur, is accompanied by a message presented to the console and the logs indicating that the user should inspect and resolve problems with interrupt routing.
