I found and read the relevant parts of the SCSI-2 spec.
I now have tag queueing working.  I also found the DPO flag
which helps both cards.  Now the 154x does 1460MB/s (2% isn't
much, but anything helps.)

With tag queueing and 4 outstanding commands the DPT now gets
1370MB/s up from 1260MB/s.  At 8 outstanding commands it only
gets 1310MB/s.  At 2 outstanding commands it gets 1430MB/s.

So why does this 4th generation card with tag queueing support
run slower than the 1st generation design that is over 10 years
old?
