1) Make the driver "quiet" by sticking most boot messages behind
bootverbose conditionals. This means that you won't see the
sync and wide negotiation, but you will find out if they fail.
2) Add support to the 93cx6 serial eeprom code to read at an abitrary
offset. This is needed so that we can access the second half
of the eeprom on 3940 cards where the second channel's config
is stored.
3) Add flags argument to ahcprobe(). This is used by the pci probe code
to tell the generic driver that an adapter should be treated
as a channel B device as well as notify it of the presence of
external SCB SRAM. These are needed for some motherboard
implementations of the aic7870 and for the 3940 controllers.
4) Print "Channel A"/"Channel B" instead of "Single Channel" for the
two busses of the 3940. I received many reports of confusion
about how the 3940 was probed since most people belived that
only one ahc entry was needed. This will hopefully make it
clearer.
5) Walk the SCBs to determine just how many their are if external SCB
ram is detected.
6) Hard code that external SCB ram is present for the 3940 since it doesn't
use the documented reporting facility for reporting the SRAM. :(
255 commands per channel are supported on the 3940.
7) Read the seeprom starting at addres 32 for the second channel of the
3940 so we get the right info for that channel.
8) Clean up printing of the "Disabling tagged queuing message".
9) Queue timeouts if they occur while we are handling a timeout. The code
was totally unprotected in this scenario.

contiguous memory in virtual space, but doesn't guarantee any particular
physical layout of pages, the script may be not contguous in physical
memory. This made the first write command fail in very rare cases.
This has been fixed by checking the region returned by malloc() for
being contiguous, but there should be a physical memory allocate
and later mapping to virtual memory instead.
A few assertions and error messages are improved.

Better performance -- more aggressive read-ahead
under certain circumstanses.
Mods to support clustering on small
( < PAGE_SIZE) block size filesystems (e.g. ext2fs,
msdosfs.)
changes to allow devices that don't probe (e.g. /dev/mem)
to create devfs entries
this required giving 'configure' its own SYSINIT entry
so we could duck in just before it with a DEVFS init
and some device inits..
my devfs now looks like:
./misc
./misc/speaker
./misc/mem
./misc/kmem
./misc/null
./misc/zero
./misc/io
./misc/console
./misc/pcaudio
./misc/pcaudioctl
./disks
./disks/rfloppy
./disks/rfloppy/fd0.1440
./disks/rfloppy/fd1.1200
./disks/floppy
./disks/floppy/fd0.1440
./disks/floppy/fd1.1200
also some sligt cleanups.. DEVFS needs a lot of work
but I'm getting back to it..
had a 2.1 tag, thus sending these two changes into the 2.1 branch instead
of -current. Argh. I may bring these changes into the 2.1 anyway (they're
benign there) so I'm not going to admin them out of 2.1 for the time
being.
4k to 8k. This has a significant effect on the pipe performance. In
the future it might be good to increase this to 16k. PIPSIZ is now
tunable for experimentation.
external linkage.
Remove useless comments saying that SYSINIT() does system initialization.
shm.c:
Remove nearly useless comment that gave wrong pseudo-prototypes.
