- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
o expect the disk's start routine to return an int. If the
int is non-zero, we enqueue the request and try again
later.
o have a dk_start() routine which runs the request queue.
o have a dk_iodone() function which should be called by the
driver using the framwork from its iodone. dk_iodone will
retry the queue since presumably further progress may be
possible once a request is complete. It is required that
the underlying driver have the resources to keep at least
one transaction in flight at any time.
Modified cgd to:
o be able to keep one transaction in flight at any time
(almost) by keeping a buffer of size MAXPHYS in its softc
and use it.
We still need to make the cgd_cbufpool per device rather than global
and provide a low water mark for it.

(at least according to the submitter.)
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
