when trying to play audio CD's on some drives. The original message was :
> In my analysis, rev 1.19 of cd_scsi.c used cd_scsibus_set_mode()
> instead of scsipi_mode_select(). cd_scsibus_set_mode() had the code

Fixes PR 7299 and probably PR 15155 and PR 16883 too.
- disk_unbusy() gets a new parameter to tell the IO direction.
- struct disk_sysctl gets 4 new members for read/write bytes/transfers.
when processing hw.diskstats, add the read&write bytes/transfers for
the old combined stats to attempt to keep backwards compatibility.
unfortunately, due to multiple bugs, this will cause new kernels and old
vmstat/iostat/systat programs to fail. however, the next time this is
change it will not fail again.
this is just the kernel portion.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
"scsi_core". Make all the files previously selected by the "scsi"
attribute selected by the "scsi_core" attribute. Give the "scsibus"
device the "scsi_core" attribute.
- Use the plain words 'disk' and 'tape' instead of 'direct' and 'sequential'.
- Media status will be printed in the frontend, so don't bother with it.
- Don't bother printing the SCSI version, which is fixed these days, or the
numberic device type.
This eliminates problems where the underlying interrupt handler isn't the
specific layer calling scsipi_complete() for a given scsi transaction.
This avoids deadlocks where the kthread that called the autoconf routines
to configure a scsibus shouldn't be the one put to sleep waiting on a
scsipi_complete (only the scsibus's kthread should be doing that).
To avoid jitter this will force the scsibus's to probe in the order they
run through autoconf (so machines with multiple bus's don't move sd* devices
around on every reboot).
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
