As Matt already noted, 4.0 shipped with support for the QLogic Ultra160
boards.  Symbios C1010 Ultra160 boards are also supported in 4.0.

The Adaptec Ultra160 boards (based on the 7892 and 7899) are supported in
4.0, but they only run at 80MB/sec, i.e. Ultra2 speeds, not at 160MB/sec.

If you want the Adaptec chips to run at 160MB/sec, you need the patches
Justin referred to in his mail to the -scsi list today.
