This is a completely rewritten scsipi_xfer execution engine, and the
associated changes to HBA drivers. Overview of changes & features:
- All xfers are queued in the mid-layer, rather than doing so in an
ad-hoc fashion in individual adapter drivers.
- Adapter/channel resource management in the mid-layer, avoids even trying
to start running an xfer if the adapter/channel doesn't have the resources.
- Better communication between the mid-layer and the adapters.
- Asynchronous event notification mechanism from adapter to mid-layer and
peripherals.
- Better peripheral queue management: freeze/thaw, sorted requeueing during
recovery, etc.
- Clean separation of peripherals, adapters, and adapter channels (no more
scsipi_link).
- Kernel thread for each scsipi_channel makes error recovery much easier
(no more dealing with interrupt context when recovering from an error).
- Mid-layer support for tagged queueing: commands can have the tag type
set explicitly, tag IDs are allocated in the mid-layer (thus eliminating
the need to use buggy tag ID allocation schemes in many adapter drivers).
- support for QUEUE FULL and CHECK CONDITION status in mid-layer; the command
will be requeued, or a REQUEST SENSE will be sent as appropriate.
Just before the merge syssrc has been tagged with thorpej_scsipi_beforemerge
<vm/pglist.h> -> <uvm/uvm_pglist.h>
<vm/vm_inherit.h> -> <uvm/uvm_inherit.h>
<vm/vm_kern.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_extern.h>
<vm/vm_object.h> -> nothing
<vm/vm_pager.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_pager.h>
also includes a bunch of <vm/vm_page.h> include removals (due to redudancy
with <vm/vm.h>), and a scattering of other similar headers.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
This avoids a zero pointer dereference, which fixes PR 8571.
Make sbic_dmago() report selection timeouts to the upper layer.
This makes sbic really work again with 1.4L.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
- Added support for multiple floppy drives
- CyberVision64:
- has now a real console mode
- another bugfix for boards with the new S3 chip
- Ariadne:
- fixed crashes with aeput (mbuf failure)
- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
Fix a bug in pt_enter_ptpage which caused MMU faults on low-mem conditions.
Change siop drivers to better handle sync.
Remove diag. done for ide -- its redundant as the ROM does similar.
fixed ite_filter to not panic if typing before the device is fully setup

Move the copy from bounce buffer after dmafree() in the case of
the A2091 this allows the dma fifo to be flushed.

Now use amiga HW for soft interrupts, non-contig options (2 or many chunks),
interrupt handler lists, 4066 ethernet, 1291 scsi, option to defer level 6
interrupts to level 4 (deal with icky built-in serial port)
amiga goes: config.new *and* /sys/scsi.
clock code coerced into a single .c file adding an accurate usec delay().
disklabel.c updated to DTRT, code to write RDB's to be added soon.
sbic (old scsi) converted over to new scsi and config this covers about
90% of users. Other drivers soon.
