- the mutex aac_io_lock protects the main codepaths which handle queues and
hardware registers. Only one acquire/release is done in the top-half and
the taskqueue. This mutex also applies to the userland command path and
CAM data path.
- Move the taskqueue to the new Giant-free version.
- Register the disk device with DISKFLAG_NOGIANT so the top-half processing
runs without Giant.
- Move the dynamic command allocator to the worker thread to avoid locking
issues with bus_dmamem_alloc().
This gives about 20% improvement in most of my benchmarks.
turns runs its tasks free of Giant too. It is intended that as drivers
become locked down, they will move out of the old, Giant-bound taskqueue
and into this new one. The old taskqueue has been renamed to
taskqueue_swi_giant, and the new one keeps the name taskqueue_swi.
- Remove the buftimelock mutex and acquire the buf's interlock to protect
these fields instead.
- Hold the vnode interlock while locking bufs on the clean/dirty queues.
This reduces some cases from one BUF_LOCK with a LK_NOWAIT and another
BUF_LOCK with a LK_TIMEFAIL to a single lock.

- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

returned and noone ever looked at the return value
Reading the PCI config space with the wrong (larger) size is not
a problem in this case, but writing can be as it clobbers unrelated
registers. In this case the clobbering is for reserved fields, which
too is mostly harmless... for now. Hence, this change is mostly
preventive in nature.
