Use MACHINE_CPUARCH in preference to MACHINE_ARCH. The former is the
source code location of the machine, the latter the binary output. In
general, we want to use MACHINE_CPUARCH instead of MACHINE_ARCH unless
we're tesitng for a specific target. The isn't even moot for
i386/amd64 where there's momemntum towards a MACHINE_CPUARCH == x86,
although a specific cleanup for that likely would be needed...
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.
aac driver dependent on the linux emulation module. This was
especially bad for the release engineers who tried to move the
aac driver from the kernel onto the drivers floppy. The linux
compat bits for this driver are now in their own driver, aac_linux.
It can be loaded as a module or compiled into the kernel. For
the latter case, the AAC_COMPAT_LINUX option is needed, along with
the COMPAT_LINUX option.
I've tested this in every configuration I can think of. This is an
MFC candidate for 4.7.

ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.
