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.
These changes add support for:
o The MI VMEbus framework on both MVME147 and MVME167.
o Enhancements to the existing MD bus_space(9) implementation.
o Most of the bus_dma(9) API.
(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.
fixes the following problems:
- Timeout on START/STOP unit command (ie. when spinning up the drive)
Side effect of this fix is to reduce the busy-wait time in CMD phase.
- Occasionally, the driver would lose an SBIC interrupt, especially when
a tape drive was re-selecting on a busy SCSI bus.

this driver is based on the amiga sbic/33C93 driver. Steve has
cleaned it up and fixed lots of bugs. Note that the original driver
used features which require at least a WD33C93A (the vme147 has the
original WD33C93 chip <no 'A' suffix>). Steve has also written
the DMA routines for the 147 to get things really going. Hardware
scatter-gather DMA and sync. SCSI are not supported (yet). tested
on several disk drives and a tape drive. CD-ROM untested, but
should work.
