Jim Harris f11c7f6305 Add isci(4) driver for amd64 and i386 targets.
The isci driver is for the integrated SAS controller in the Intel C600
(Patsburg) chipset.  Source files in sys/dev/isci directory are
FreeBSD-specific, and sys/dev/isci/scil subdirectory contains
an OS-agnostic library (SCIL) published by Intel to control the SAS
controller.  This library is used primarily as-is in this driver, with
some post-processing to better integrate into the kernel build
environment.

isci.4 and a README in the sys/dev/isci directory contain a few
additional details.

This driver is only built for amd64 and i386 targets.

FreeBSD Driver for Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller
===============================================
This driver has been developed for use with FreeBSD, version 9.0 and later.
This driver uses an OS-agnostic abstraction layer library named SCIL that is
published by Intel specifically for the C600 SAS controller. The SAS
controller has no firmware, so the driver is extensive and using SCIL
minimizes the development and maintenance cost of the driver.
The FreeBSD implementation files are in the isci directory, and SCIL files
are in the isci/scil subdirectory. As Intel publishes new versions of SCIL
(to add features or fix bugs), the isci/scil subdirectory will be updated
appropriately.
