ACK!

Maybe we should disable AIC Config option and instead add a comment like:

comment 'For AICXXXX, please go to http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/'
comment 'and download the latest tar.gz and unpack these drivers!'
comment 'After unpacking, enable Config.in option in drivers/scsi/Config.in'
