+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5g
+	- Change messages written by the driver at initialisation and 
+	  through the /proc FS (rather cosmetic changes that consist in
+	  printing out the PCI bus number and PCI device/function).
+	- Ensure the SCRIPTS processor is stopped while calibrating the 
+	  SCSI clock (the initialisation code has been a bit reworked).
+	  Change moved to the FreeBSD sym_hipd driver).
+	- Some fixes in the MODIFY_DP/IGN_RESIDUE code and residual 
+	  calculation (moved from FreeBSD sym_hipd driver).
+	- Add NVRAM support for Tekram boards that use 24C16 EEPROM.
+	  Code moved from the FreeBSD sym_hipd driver, since it has 
+	  been that one that got this feature first.
+	- Definitely disable overlapped PCI arbitration for all dual 
+	  function chips, since I cannot make sure for what chip revisions 
+	  it is actually safe.
+	- Add support for the SYM53C1510D (also for ncr53c8xx).
+	- Fix up properly the PCI latency timer when needed or asked for.
+	- Get rid of the old PCI bios interface, but preserve kernel 2.0 
+	  compatibility from a simple wrapper.
+	- Update the poor Tekram sync factor table.
+	- Fix in a tiny 'printk' bug that may oops in case of extended 
+	  errors (unrecovered parity error, data overrun, etc ...)
+	  (Sent by Pamela Delaney from LSILOGIC)
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- Change get_pages by GetPages since Linux >= 2.3.27 now wants 
+	  get_pages to ever be used as a kernel symbol (from 2.3.27).
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
