[PATCH] NCR5380: Add disconnect_mask module parameter

[Finn Thain]

Add a module parameter to inhibit disconnect/reselect for individual
targets. This gains compatibility with Aztec PowerMonster SCSI/SATA
adapters with buggy firmware. (No fix is available from the vendor.)

Apparently these adapters pass-through the product/vendor of the
attached SATA device. Since they can't be identified from the response
to an INQUIRY command, a device blacklist flag won't work.

This should be a per-host or per-bus setting and not per-driver
(though in the case of atari_scsi there is only one host).
Is there a better way?

Applied to 5.5/scsi-queue, thanks!
