out of cdregister() and daregister(), which are run from interrupt context.
The sysctl code does blocking mallocs (M_WAITOK), which causes problems
if malloc(9) actually needs to sleep.
The eventual fix for this issue will involve moving the CAM probe process
inside a kernel thread. For now, though, I have fixed the issue by moving
dynamic sysctl variable creation for these two drivers to a task queue
running in a kernel thread.
The existing task queues (taskqueue_swi and taskqueue_swi_giant) run in
software interrupt handlers, which wouldn't fix the problem at hand. So I
have created a new task queue, taskqueue_thread, that runs inside a kernel
thread. (It also runs outside of Giant -- clients must explicitly acquire
and release Giant in their taskqueue functions.)
scsi_cd.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from cdregister(), and
move it to a new function, cdsysctlinit(). Queue
cdsysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once we
have fully registered the cd(4) driver instance.
scsi_da.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from daregister(), and
move it to move it to a new function, dasysctlinit().
Queue dasysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once
we have fully registered the da(4) instance.
taskqueue.h: Declare the new taskqueue_thread taskqueue, update some
comments.
subr_taskqueue.c:
Create the new kernel thread taskqueue. This taskqueue
runs outside of Giant, so any functions queued to it would
need to explicitly acquire/release Giant if they need it.
cd.4: Update the cd(4) man page to talk about the minimum command
size sysctl/loader tunable. Also note that the changer
variables are available as loader tunables as well.
da.4: Update the da(4) man page to cover the retry_count,
default_timeout and minimum_cmd_size sysctl variables/loader
tunables. Remove references to /dev/r???, they aren't used
any longer.
cd.9: Update the cd(9) man page to describe the CD_Q_10_BYTE_ONLY
quirk.
taskqueue.9: Update the taskqueue(9) man page to describe the new thread
task queue, and the taskqueue_swi_giant queue.

buildworld targets by default, but allow it to be done for all user
targets by introducing a boolean option, named ALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE.
This change is by no means perfect and I don't even want to claim
this to be a solution. It does however address the fact that not
everybody likes to see make(1) rebuilt simply because the regression
test failed for some reason or other, including pilot error. It
therefore serves the purpose of keeping the crowd happy until we
have something better or simply reached a compromise.
The reasons for changing the default behaviour are:
o It avoids a negative, possibly non-intuitive option,
o It's according to POLA and fond of feet,
o Only buildworld is documented to do its best to be
successful at reasonably cost.

For this we need a new rc.conf variable natm_static_routes that works
just like static_routes except that the referenced routes use the syntax
