Can anyone clarify the latest situation on AIC7xxx SCSI drivers?

I'm confused by the release notes for 2.0.36:

"AIC7xxx 
       The 2.0.36 kernel contains the 5.1.4 release of the AIC7xxx driver. 
       This should cure most of the remaining problems with the older              
       chipsets. Users with the latest AIC7xxx devices will have to wait for
       the next driver version to become available or try the beta test driver."

Which AIC7xxx devices are actually supported?
Are the problems with AIC7890 soted in 2.0.36 ?
Is the   aic7xxx-5.1.0-2.0.35_patch.gz   and similar patches at ftp.dialnet 
now redundant?
What are the  "...latest AIC7xxx devices..." that still may have problems and 
which controllers are affected.?
5.1.4 never appeared on ftp.dialnet, is it the very latest driver release or not?

Thanks,

Mark
