Does it? When I looked at this around 2.6.22, I found that esp_scsi would
always negotiate sync transfers if the target supported that. PIO cannot
do sync transfers, so I had to modify esp_scsi in order that the chip's
Synchronous Offset register was set to zero (asynch).

I didn't attempt any processing in irq_pending. I'll look into it.
