Remove unused (and braindead) functions volume_index, plex_index,
sd_index and drive_index.
Add a flag VF_CREATED for volumes. VF_NEWBORN was being used in two
capacities, and they clashed, my Lord, they clashed.
find_object: restructure the search loop as a result of the change in
variable use.
Decrement object use count in the remove_<object> functions, not in
the free_<object> functions, which are often called with partially
initialized (and uncounted) objects.

Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.
DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.
The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.
Fixed problems:
All known hang problems should be solved
The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
the reports I have lying around (I hope).
Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

longjmp. I suspect that the occasional double panic may be the result
of incorrect parameters to longjmp. This happens, of course, like the
entire file, only with -DVINUMDEBUG.
give_sd_to_plex: Don't set Raid-5 subdisk state here.
config_subdisk: handle the name parameter correctly when the subdisk
was referenced in a previous plex definition. The
name parameter must come first.
Handle autosizing relatively correctly. There is
still a danger of losing drive space if problems
occur with an autosized subdisk.
Set state to empty, not up, when complete. This also
solves a nagging problem about enforcing the need to
initialize RAID-5 plexes.
config_plex: handle the name parameter correctly when the plex
was referenced in a previous volume definition. The
name parameter must come first.
Handle initial state better.
update_plex_config:
Calculate the trim factor for RAID-5 plexes correctly.
Set the number of down subdisks correctly when reading
from disk config.
settings you've just sent them and return random values if you follow
the set by a get. This causes problems when you latter run a Tag-enabled
command when you've command tagged mode off.
Recognize aic7895 controllers that have been "acquired" by a RAIDPort
card as normal aic7895s.
Recognize the aic7815 Raid Parity/Memory controller chip and notify
the user that it's RAID functionality will be ignored.
Don't mess with the IRQMS bit in the host control register unless
we are an aic7770 chip.
Use calling context to determine if the card is already paused when
we update the target message request bit field in controller scratch
ram. Looking at the paused bit in the HCNTRL register opened up a
race condition.
Insert delays in the target message request update routine as a temporary
work around for what looks like a chip bug. I'm still investigating this
one.
Fix the Abort/Abort Tag/BDR handler to pull its message from the message
buffer in our softc instead of attempting to get it from a register on
the controller. The message is never recorded by the controller in the
new message scheme.
Don't rely on having an SCB when a BDR occurs. We can issue these during
invalid reconnects to.
Fix a few cases where we were restarting the sequencer but then still
falling out of a switch statement to unpause the sequencer again.
This could cause us to mess up sequencer state if it generated another
pausing interrupt between the time of the restart and unpause.
Kill the 'transceiver settle' loop during card initialization. I
failed to realize that a controller that is not connected to any
cables will never settle or enable the SCSI transceivers at all.
The correct solution is to monitor the IOERR interrupt which indicates
that the transceiver state has changed (UW<->LVD).
Modify the aic7xxx assembler to properly echo input when stdin is not
a tty.
remove the splbio() around the call to launch read requests.
launch_requests:
Move the splbio() protection outside the entire launch_loop. The
previous location was causing problems with IDE drives, where the
call to the strategy routine often did not complete until after
complete_rqe deallocated the request structure.

Check for partition types FS_VINUM and FS_UNUSED. Accept both, but
complain about FS_UNUSED. At a later date, only FS_VINUM will be
accepted.

Add a flag `force' (VF_FORCECONFIG) to force name changes of
existing drives.
config_drive:
If the drive already has a vinum label, and name doesn't match the
specified drive, do it anyway if the 'force' flag is specified.
finish_config:
Reset the `force' flag.

give_sd_to_drive:
If the drive is down, take the subdisk down and don't try to fix
things.
update_plex_config:
Don't try to update the config parameters of a plex which isn't
fully configured (state plex_init or plex_unallocated).
Correctly calculate the amount to trim off a striped or RAID-5 plex
whose size is not a multiple of the stripe size.
compiled with or without debugging support. This enables us to catch
(fatal) mismatches between the kernel and userland.
Coalesce flags VINUM_DISKCONFIG and VINUM_READING_CONFIG. They did
essentially the same thing.
Add VINUM_BIGDRIVE for pretending we have macho hardware.
