Port containing device to be examined

Device to be examined
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
After the IDENTIFY [PACKET] DEVICE step is complete, and a
device is known to be present, this function is called.
We apply two errata fixups which are specific to Silicon Image,
a Seagate and a Maxtor fixup.
.PP
For certain Seagate devices, we must limit the maximum sectors
to under 8K.
.PP
For certain Maxtor devices, we must not program the drive
beyond udma5.
.PP
Both fixups are unfairly pessimistic.  As soon as I get more
information on these errata, I will create a more exhaustive
list, and apply the fixups to only the specific
devices/hosts/firmwares that need it.
