-    "aic7xxx=no_reset" -  Eliminate the SCSI reset delay during startup.
-        Some SCSI devices need some extra time to reset.
     "aic7xxx=reverse_scan" - Have the driver register the SCSI cards in the
         reverse of the normal order.  This may help those people who have more

         this horrible abomination of a hack.  The default is disabled (-1).
+    "aic7xxx=pci_parity:x" - This option controls whether or not the driver
+        enables PCI parity error checking on the PCI bus.  By default, this
+        checking is disabled.  To enable the checks, simply specify pci_parity

+        supply any number other than 0 or 255.  In short:
+          pci_parity     - Even parity checking (even is the normal PCI parity)
+          pci_parity:x   - Where x > 0, Odd parity checking
+          pci_parity:0   - No check (default)
+        NOTE: In order to get Even PCI parity checking, you must use the

     "aic7xxx=tag_info:{{8,8..},{8,8..},..}" - This option is used to enable
         tagged queueing on specific devices.  As of driver version 5.0.6, we
         now globally enable tagged queueing by default, but we also disable
