"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.
One basic struct, a function to setup a queue with a specific strategy and
three macros to put buf's into the queue, get and remove the next buf or
get the next buf without removal.
The BUFQ_XXX interface will be removed in the future.
The B_ORDERED flag is not longer supported.

XS_SELTIMEOUT and XS_TIMEOUT errors- but only do so if the device exists
already.
Devices that are being probed won't be found via periph_lookup, so we can
use that to find if a device exists for the purposes of honoring retries.
deal with such xfers, and can wedge the system with some controllers.
It's a bug to request such xfers for ATAPI, but as the request may come
from userland we have to protect against it.
So check for version 3, not 4 when looking for DT support.
This should be safe as these bits are reserved for older devices, they
should be set to 0 when not supported.
Set this to dv_xname for scsibus and atapibus.
Set the name of the kernel thread to chan_name instead of controller's
name:channel number (so that we can use this name for controller-specific
threads).
all function pointers passed in from the adapter driver.
This partly fixes PR 13480, i.e. the FREECOM CD driver works now in pcmcia
adapters.
The remaining issue (timing problems with slow cards and cardbus bridges)
is probably the cause of several other PRs too.
