ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.

drivers with MI portions into the MI notes. Device drivers such as busses
like the isa, eisa, and pci devices are now in the MD NOTES section even
though they have some MI code. This will ensure that only the proper bits
of device drivers will be included due to the optional bits dependent on
the busses in sys/conf/files. This commit also takes the stance that since
hints are ignored in NOTES anyways, it is ok to include hints for a bus
that may not be present.
Advice from: bde
Unfortunately, this level doesn't really provide enough granularity. We
probably need several MI NOTES type files for things that are shared by
several architectures but not by all. For example, the PCI options could
live in a NOTES.pci.
This also updates the Makefile for i386 to generate LINT. The only changes
in the generated LINT are the order of various options.
Suggestions for improvement welcome.
and commenting of NETSMB, NETWMBCRYPTO, and SMBFS. In NOTES, they
had all floated to the bottom of the file with the list of seemingly
random and unclassified kernel options. This change moves them back
up to the network protocol and file system areas, and also documents
the dependencies.
the structure definitions come from NetBSD to make it easier to share card
definitions. The driver only acts as a shim between the pci bus and the
sio driver. Later pci parallel ports could also be supported through this
driver. Support for most single and multiport pci serial cards should be
as simple as adding its definition to pucdata.c
Tested with the following pci cards:
Moxa Industio CP-114, 4 port RS-232,RS-422/485
Syba Tech Ltd. PCI-4S2P-550-ECP, 4 port RS-232 + 2 parallel ports

SMP we'd like as much feedback as possible from users about possible
locking problems as early as possible.
To negate most of the performance impact I've also enabled
WITNESS_SKIPSPIN. I've done this as we've been running WITNESS
over the spinlock code for a while without incident and it goes a
long way to making the performance problems of WITNESS much more
bearable.
Users who should be running current should know about turning WITNESS
off for performance reasons.
That said and done, WITNESS could/should be made into a tuneable,
but we'll leave that as an excersize to those that want to disable
it without a kernel recompile.

recommend turning on WITNESS by default on crash boxes, and when doing
locking development. It will probably get turned on by default for a week
or two following any major locking commits, also.
