6875d25465 Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

2e899e8a02 . move out the error and status register def's for wt into
<machine/wtio.h>, so mt(1) can print them,

. cosmetics: put the return type and the function name onto
  different lines.

bc64d5dbed MTRETENS for the wt driver. This patch got lost with

This is the streamer tape driver for 386bsd and FreeBSD, which
supports Wangtek and Archive compatible QIC-02/QIC-36 controllers.
It was developed as a replacement of the old Wangtek tape driver from CMU.

In comparison with the CMU driver, this version has the following enhancements:
1) Support for Archive SC402 and SC499 tape controllers added.
2) Support for up to three tape controllers on the same machine.
3) Support for BSD-style ioctls MTIOCGET, MTIOCTOP.
   Mt command now works adequately with this driver.
2) Asynchronous REWIND and FSF operations, close() will not wait
   until they finish.  The next open() will wait for it instead.
4) Use of WTQICMD ioctl is limited to ERASE and RETENS operations.
   This prevents the user from locking the tape driver by strange
   tape operations.
5) Tape density switching added.
6) The status of the process, blocked on the tape operation,
   is displayed at the WCHAN column of the `ps' command as:

	wtread    reading data from the tape
	wtwrite   writing data to the tape
	wtrfm     reading the tape marker
	wtwfm     writing the tape marker
	wtrew     rewinding the tape
	wterase   doing WTQICMD ERASE operation
	wtretens  doing WTQICMD RETENS operation
	wtorew    doing MTIOCTOP REW/OFFL operation
	wtorfm    doing MTIOCTOP FSF operation
	wtowfm    doing MTIOCTOP WEOF operation

7) It's possible to use the tape with "default density",
   useful for devices which don't support density switching
   or do automatic format determination.
8) Some controllers support only 1024 block length.
   Setting WT_BSIZE bit in device minor number turns on this mode.

Minor number structure:
	0bfffuuu
Fields:
	uuu   - Unit number. It's possible to install
		up to three tape controllers on the same machine,
		using DRQs 1..3.  Hence, unit number can lie
		in range 0..2.
	fff   - Tape format number:
		0 - /dev/rwt0  - default density (auto select)
		1 - /dev/rwt0a - QIC 11 (obsolete)
		2 - /dev/rwt0b - QIC 24 (60 megabytes)
		3 - /dev/rwt0c - QIC 120 (120 megabytes)
		4 - /dev/rwt0d - QIC 150 (150 megabytes)
		5 - /dev/rwt0e - QIC 300 (300 megabytes?)
		6 - /dev/rwt0f - QIC 600 (600 megabytes?)
	b     - Long block size flag.  With this bit set,
		the driver will perform all i/o operations
		with the controller using 1024-byte
		blocks, instead of 512 ones.
		Some controllers need it (CMS for example).
		If you Wangtek controller does not stream well,
		you can try to use /dev/rWt0 device instead
		of /dev/rwt0 (uncomment needed lines in /dev/MAKEDEV
		to create it).

Block interface (writing blocks less than 2048 bytes) is not functioning
pwoperly.  Use raw interface instead.

Thanks to all who helped to test it on the following hardware:

Description:
	Old wt driver is too incomplete and buggy.
	It does not support Archive controllers, BSD-like
	tape ioctls, multiple tape controllers, different
	tape density etc.
Fix:
	This driver is a replacement of the old one.
	It was not tested on different controllers, though.

	This is the streamer tape driver for 386bsd and FreeBSD,
	which supports Wangtek and Archive controllers.
	It was developed as a replacement of the old Wangtek
	tape driver from CMU.

In comparison with the CMU driver, this version has the following enhancements:
1) Support for Archive SC402 and SC499 tape controllers added.
2) Support for up to three tape controllers on the same machine.
3) Support for BSD-style ioctls MTIOCGET, MTIOCTOP.
   Mt command now works adequately with this driver.
4) Asynchronous REWIND and FSF operations, close() will not wait
   until they finish.  The next open() will wait for it instead.
5) Use of WTQICMD ioctl is limited to ERASE and RETENS operations.
   This prevents the user from locking the tape driver by strange
   tape operations.
6) Tape density switching added.
7) The status of the process, blocked on the tape operation,
   is displayed at the WCHAN column of the `ps' command as:

	wtread    reading data from the tape
	wtwrite   writing data to the tape
	wtrfm     reading the tape marker
	wtwfm     writing the tape marker
	wtrew     rewinding the tape
	wterase   doing WTQICMD ERASE operation
	wtretens  doing WTQICMD RETENS operation
	wtorew    doing MTIOCTOP REW/OFFL operation
	wtorfm    doing MTIOCTOP FSF operation
	wtowfm    doing MTIOCTOP WEOF operation
