bc7133d8e3 Change I/O like behaviour of control device to be that like the
no-rewind device. This makes sense in that a no-rewind device may
always be rewound or ejected, but the opposite is not true.

9471e81790 Quite a bit of rewriting:
1. Document CONTROL MODE (and the fact that you can do I/O now if
the device is opened in control mode- the actual close behaviour
is akin to normal mode (i.e., it rewinds)). This should probably
either be a separate bit, or O_NDELAY on the open as well.

2. Document new MTEWARN subcommand to MTIOCTOP (enable/disable
early warning behaviour).

3. Document EOM handling more fully.

4. Note that for DENSITY and BLOCKSIZE values that the values you
set aren't persistent past the current mount session unless you have
the CONTROL MODE device opened.

5. Remove the old EOM handling BUG notice and instead note that having
a minor bit for compression selection wouldn't be a bad thing.

Flame on!

a76d855399 Attempt to finish off PR#2008, and document our SCSI subsystem.
Add references to ATAPI support; do a quick job from UTSL on scanners,
and the changer thing. Also document that SCSI bus Ethernet interface
that appears to be supported. Clean up some nroff stuff in the exiting
pages.
