718ac5d246 [import changes from sparc port]
- moved disk_busy() call from xdstrategy() to xdc_startbuf()
        [prevents disk_unbusy panic when disk is loaded (if no
        free IOPBs, xdstrategy() would queue the buffer for pickup
        by xdcintr() but xdcintr() would never call disk_busy().
        xdc_startbuf() is a better place since all bufs are routed
        through here]   problem detected by girish@dworkin.wustl.edu,
        diagnosed and corrected by me.
- move disk_unbusy() call in xdc_remove_iorq() before the call to
        XDC_FREE() [don't want to access a data structure that was just put
        on a free list]

8f339409b7 sync with sparc:
- move disk_attach() to before reading the disk label as per Jason.
	otherwise we are reading into an unallocated buffer (oops!)

5b39541e48 New generic disk framework. Highlights:
- 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.

b3a6cbaeb0 New from Chuck Cranor: drivers for SMD disks!
xd: Xylogics 753/7053 SMD disk controller
xy: Xylogics 450/451 SMD disk controller
These now compile, but have not been tested.
