- Implement proper combined mode decoding for Intel controllers to properly
identify SATA and PATA channels and associate ATA channels with SATA ports.
This fixes wrong reporting and in some cases hard resets to wrong SATA ports.
- Improve SATA registers support to handle hot-plug events and potentially
interface errors. For ICH5/6300ESB chipsets these registers accessible via
PCI config space. For later ones they may be accessible via PCI BAR(5).
- For controllers not generating interrupts on hot-plug events, implement
periodic status polling. Use it to detect hot-plug on Intel and VIA
controllers. Same probably could also be used for Serverworks and SIS.
The following systems are involved:
- DB-88F5182
- DB-88F5281
- DB-88F6281
- DB-78100
- SheevaPlug
This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Marvell ARM SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- Since the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) is used we say
good by to obio / mbus drivers and numerous hard-coded config data.
Note that world needs to be built WITH_FDT for the affected platforms.

Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.
Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial
and is not really required by PCI ATA BM specification or hardware.

- Remove most of direct relations between ATA(4) peripherial and controller
levels. It makes logic more transparent and is a mandatory step to wrap
ATA(4) controller level into ATA-native CAM SIM.
- Tune AHCI and SATA2 SiI drivers memory allocation a bit to allow bigger
I/O transaction sizes without additional cost.
