The aic7xxx based controllers allow you to controll this through the BIOS
on a per target basis.  I'd like the new scsi config code to allow this
level of control for all devices on any type of controller.  I have the 
beginnings of this (the scsi code tells the controller when it should be
doing sync/wide negotiation and tagged queuing), but it won't be ready until 
after 2.1.
