modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

it cannot establish a mount session. If the open cannot establish a mount
session and O_NONBLOCK was specified, the tape becomes 'open pending mount'.
All I/O operations that would require access to a tape thereafter until
a close attempt to initiate the mount session. If the mount session succeeds,
the tape driver transitions to full open state, else returns an appropriate
I/O error (ENXIO).
At the same time, add a change that remembers whether tape is being opened
read-only. If so, disallow 'write' operations like writing filemarks that
bypass the normal read-only filtering operations that happen in the write(2)
syscall.

module-specific malloc types. These should help us to pinpoint the
possible memory leakage in the future.
- Implementing xpt_alloc_ccb_nowait() and replacing all malloc/free based
CCB memory management with xpt_alloc_ccb[_nowait]/xpt_free_ccb. Hopefully
this would be helpful if someday we move the CCB allocator to use UMA
instead of malloc().

Clear residual counts after a successful samount (the user doesn't
care that we got an N-kbyte residual on our test read).
Change a lot of error handling code.
1. If we end up in saerror, check more carefully about the kind of
error. If it is a CAM_SCSI_STATUS_ERROR and it is a read/write
command, we'll be handling this in saerror. If it isn't a read/write
command, check to see whether this is just an EOM/EOP check condition-
if it is, just set residual and return normally. A residual and
then a NO SENSE check condiftion with the ASC of 0 and ASCQ of
between 1 and 4 are normal 'signifying' events, not errors per se,
and we shouldn't give the command to cam_periph_error to do something
relatively unpredictable with.
2. If we get a Bus Reset, had a BDR sent, or get the cam status of
CAM_REQUEUE_REQ, check the retry count on the command. The default
error handler, cam_periph_error, doesn't honor retry count in these
cases. This may change in the future, but for now, make sure we
set EIO and return without calling cam_periph_error if the retry
count for the command with an error is zero.
3. Clean up the pending error case goop and handle cases more
sensibly.
The rules are:
If command was a Write:
If we got a SSD_KEY_VOLUME_OVERFLOW, the resid is
propagated and we set ENOSPC as the error.
Else if we got an EOM condition- just mark EOM pending.
And set a residual of zero. For the longest time I was just
propagating residual from the sense data- but my tape
comparison tests were always failing because all drives I
tested with actually *do* write the data anyway- the EOM
(early warning) condition occurred *prior* to all of the
data going out to media- that is, it was still buffered by
the drive. This case is described in SCSI-2, 10.2.14,
paragraph #d for the meaning of 'information field'. A
better fix for this would be to issue a WFM command of zero
to cause the drive to flush any buffered data, but this
would require a fairly extensive rewrite.
Else if the command was a READ:
If we got a SSD_KEY_BLANK_CHECK-
If we have a One Filemark EOT model- mark EOM as pending,
otherwise set EIO as the erorr.
Else if we found a Filemark-
If we're in Fixed Block mode- mark EOF pending.
If we had an ILI (Incorrect Length Indicator)-
If the residual is less than zero, whine about tape record
being too big for user's buffer, otherwise if we were in
Fixed Block mode, mark EIO as pending.
All 'pending' conditions mean that the command in question completes
without error indication. It had succeeded, but a signifying event
occurred during its execution which will apply to the *next* command
that would be exexcuted. Except for the one EOM case above, we always
propagate residual.
Now, way back in sastart- if we notice any of the PENDING bits set,
we don't run the command we've just pulled off the wait queue. Instead,
we then figure out it's disposition based upon a previous command's
association with a signifying event.
If SA_FLAG_EOM_PENDING is set, we don't set an error. We just complete
the command with residual set to the request count (not data moved,
but no error). We continue on.
If SA_FLAG_EOF_PENDING- if we have this, it's only because we're in
Fixed Block mode- in which case we traverse all waiting buffers (which
we can get in fixed block mode because physio has split things up) and
mark them all as no error, but no data moved and complete them.
If SA_FLAG_EIO_PENDING, just mark the buffer with an EIO error
and complete it.
Then we clear all of the pending state bits- we're done.

1. Add SA_IO_TIMEOUT as an option (4 minutes default) to cover reads,
writes, wfm, test unit ready.
2. Add internal SCSIOP_TIMEOUT (e.g., for mode sense) at 1 minute. This
