I believe ahc(4) supports all the 2940 parts?

It does. Given that Apple (as far as I am aware) shipped machines with
ahc, isp, and mpt controllers, I think these drivers should be in
GENERIC so that people can install onto disks without surprises. Any
objections to adding ahc, isp, mpt, and sym to GENERIC?
