aesthetics of using the 4.4 queue macros without paying undo space or time
in scenartios where a singly-linked list works fine.
From queue.h:
/*
* A singly-linked list is headed by a single forward pointer. The elements
* are singly linked for minimum space and pointer manipulation overhead at
* the expense of O(n) removal for arbitrary elements. New elements can be
* added to the list after an existing element or at the head of the list.
* Elements being removed from the head of the list should use the explicit
* macro for this purpose for optimum efficiency. A singly-linked list may
* only be traversed in the forward direction. Singly-linked lists are ideal
* for applications with large datasets and few or no removals or for
* implementing a LIFO queue.
*
* A singly-linked tail queue is headed by a pair of pointers, one to the
* head of the list and the other to the tail of the list. The elements are
* singly linked for minimum space and pointer manipulation overhead at the
* expense of O(n) removal for arbitrary elements. New elements can be added
* to the list after an existing element, at the head of the list, or at the
* end of the list. Elements being removed from the head of the tail queue
* should use the explicit macro for this purpose for optimum efficiency.
* A singly-linked tail queue may only be traversed in the forward direction.
* Singly-linked tail queues are ideal for applications with large datasets
* and few or no removals or for implementing a FIFO queue.

Use new XS_SELTIMEOUT error code for selection timeouts.

Move SCB walking code to aic7xxx.c and make it work for all card types.
The flag AHC_EXTSCB is no longer needed since the SCBs are walked in
all cases now.
QINCNT. The 7850 puts random garbage in the high bits and all my attempts
to determine the cause of this failed. This approach does seem to work
around the problem.
Go back to relying on the SCSIPERR interrupt instead of having the sequencer
interrupt at the beginning of ITloop after a parity error occured.
Determine the number of SCBs on a card automatically and base the qcntmask
on the number of SCBs.
Add entries for 11.4MHz, 8.8MHz, 8.0MHz, and 7.2MHz to ULTRA portion of
the syncrate table. They seem to work fine on the 2940UW I have here and
will allow more non-ultra devices (like my tape drive) to run sync while
the adapter is in ULTRA mode.
Return XS_SELTIMEOUT instead of XS_TIMEOUT for selection timeouts. I was
getting sick of waiting for the SCSI code to retry each non-existant unit
multiple times during boot and XS_SELTIMEOUT bypasses all retries.
Use new SLIST queue macros. This was inspired by NetBSD using TAILQs in
their SCSI drivers. For optimum cache hits, the free scb list should
be LIFO which is what the old and new code does. NetBSD implemented a
FIFO queue for some reason.
Spaces -> tabs.
Fix support for the aic7850 by looking only at the relavent bits of the
QINCNT. The 7850 puts random garbage in the high bits and all my attempts
to determine the cause of this failed. This approach does seem to work
around the problem.
Don't trust SCSIPERR to tell us when there is a parity error. On
some revs of the 7870 and the 7880, this bit follows the parity of
the current byte. Instead of using a SEQINT to tell the kernel,
re-enable the standard parity error interrupt since it seems to pause
the sequencer right at the time of the error which is the effect we were
looking for anyway.
aic7xxx_reg.h:
Remove PARITY_ERROR seqeuncer interrupt type, its no longer used.
Define QCOUNTMASK as the SRAM location for the mask to use on the
QINCNT register. QCOUNTMASK is determined by the number of SCBs
supported by the device we're working on.

Make the SA_NODEFER handling more correct, previously if you called
sigaction to set a handler and had SA_NODEFER set, and manually masked
the signal itself in sa_mask, and when you read the settings back later,
you'd find SA_NODEFER incorrectly cleared.

the process's memory, it was possible for the procfs_domem() call to
return a residual leftover, but with no errno. Since this is no good for
ptrace which ignored the the residual, remap a leftover amount into an
errno rather than fooling the caller into thinking it was successful when
in fact it was not.

Made the devfs `fd' devices bug for bug compatible with the ones created
by MAKEDEV:
- ownership is bin.bin, not root.wheel, except for std*. The devfsext
interface doesn't seem to allow specifying the ownership of /devfs/fd,
so it's still incompatible.
- std* aren't links to fd/[0-2].
Added scsi control devices.
Converted almost everything that I changed to use devfs_add_devswf()
and verbose id macros.

This does not ignore the signal, but rather, executes the function

This also adds inlines to cpufunc.h for the RDTSC, RDMSR, WRMSR, and RDPMC

there is also a kernel-size interface which might be used to aid

When initiating a write, ccdbuffer() returns two "struct ccdbuf *"s
linked together by the cb_mirror field. "cb_pflags &
CCDPF_MIRROR_DONE" is set to 0 on both of them.
When a component returns to ccdiodone(), it checks if "cb_pflags &
CCDPF_MIRROR_DONE" is set or not. If not, it sets the partner's
flag and returns. If it is, it means its partner has already
returned, so it will go to the regular cleanup (which is in the
fallthrough code).
There should be no performance or functionality changes unless the

This code prevented the interface from receiving ethernet
broadcasts if it had no IP address assigned, and appeared
to be an optimization that is not completely needed.
Get rid of ac->ac_ipaddr and arpwhohas() since they assume that

from Larry Peterson &co. at Arizona:
- Header prediction for ACKs did not exclude Fast Retransmit/Recovery.
- srtt calculation tended to get ``stuck'' and could never decrease
when below 8. It still can't, but the scaling factors are adjusted
so that this artifact does not cause as bad an effect on the RTO
value as it used to.
The paper also points out the incr/8 error that has been long since fixed,
and the problems with ACKing frequency resulting from the use of options
which I suspect to be fixed already as well (as part of the T/TCP work).

Add support for LKM operation.
Change M_NOWAIT on buffer memory allocation to M_WAIT in hopes we'll be
able to get ourselves a nice fat buffer from the kernel if we suspend.
Note: The LKM support looks kinda screwy in two areas, where I found
problems with the kernel proper. First, calling dev_attach()
at module load time will cause a panic. I haven't investigated.
Secondly, I had to manually call qcam_drvinit() to register the
device softc structure by hand at module load time. This seems
bogus, it should be called as a core part of the module load
process for character/block device drivers.
