rather than 10ths of ns. This is necessary in order to represent
Ultra320 SCSI.
* Add Ultra320 SCSI to the scsipi_syncparams[] table.
We're not going to bother bumping any version numbers with this change; only
the "hba" driver uses scsipi_sync_period_to_factor(), and the uses of
scsipi_sync_factor_to_period() are all internal to the scsipi code. Most
things just pass the factor around, which is unchanged by this.

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
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.
to the SCSIPI subsystem.
- Determine more characteristics about the board, including the number
of concurrent commands that the processor can execute at a time.
- Rework memory allocation strategy so that we can do dynamic pre-allocation
of resources according to workload.
Thanks to the Linux Buslogic driver for having some useful comments.
struct scsipi_adapter; they were not used.
Add a scsipi_ioctl entry point to struct scsipi_adapter. This will be
used to issue ioctl commands to the host adapters.
Inspired by PR #6090, from Matt Jacob.
more robust in resource shortage situations, basically identical to
code I added to the "ahc" driver some time ago.
Thanks to Brad Spencer for the testing help.
shoud creation/initialization of a ccb fail. Also, don't panic in
these situations. Instead, simply return an error condition and allow
the caller to deal with it. It may be the case that we were able to
create one ccb what we can grab, and continue to hobble along.
Adjust the number of ccbs allocated during initialization.
Every ccb could potentially lock 64k of memory for dma buffers if bounce
buffers are used. Instead of BHA_CCB_MAX ccbs using 2MByte, only
sc_link.openings ccbs per device are allocated. Thus we now use only
256KByte per device present.

Fix a couple of errors in bha_create_ccbs():
- Don't ever let the number of CCBs be creater than BHA_CCB_MAX.
- Fix a fencepost that caused the last CCB allocated to never be put
on the freelist.
