You really shouldn't be tracking RELENG_2_2 yet.  The bits in there are
far from stable yet and most importantly, the work to fix the aic7xxx
driver is not happening on that branch (it will only be merged in once
I'm satisfied its stable).

This problem has been discussed on the lists before.  You have a
motherboard that cannot handle memory mapped I/O.  The code on the 2.2
branch requires you to use the AHC_FORCE_PIO option.  The code in current
defaults to using PIO unless AHC_ALLOC_MEMIO is used.
