This submission was done by hand-applying FreeBSD local modifications on
top of the UCB code, rather than trying to patch the UCB code in on top
of the FreeBSD code due to the extensive changes.

Added another couple of menu item types.
Reshuffled the menus and added a few more. Sure wish I could figure out
how to initialize a menu with _one_ initializer rather than two! :(
It is the kernel driver's responsibility to do the list manipulation whenever
a selection timeout or a request sense occurs.
Print out the interrupt type that the device has been set to. It seems that
one of the Asus motherboards botches this and David thought a diagnostic would
be nice.
Fix a bug in my diagnostic code that David found.

the adapter's selections. Many fast periferals were getting upset when
the sequencer decided to rearbitrate after the device had already won
arbitration. This also forced the creation of a list threaded through
the SCBs (since we don't have enough space anywhere else) of commands that
are awaiting reselection. This list is run down before any new transactions
from the input queue are allowed. The list is appened to whenever we begin
a selection (simple case since the selecting device is always at the head)
and by the kernel driver whenever a request sense occurs. In the common
case, the list is only one element long, but when a reselection wins out
over a selection and that reselection generates a request sense, the
outstanding selection required for the retreval of the sense code grows
the list. On machines with many targets, this might cause the list to grow
large, so this solution, which will allow up to the maximum number of I/O
requests capible of the card elements in the list, was chosen. The list
manipulation is trivial and adds three sequencer instructions of overhead
to the selection phase.
This fixes the "target busy" errors from micropolis drives and the bursty
I/O problem when performing I/O between a Quantum Grand Prix and any other
device. I anticipate that this will correct many of the problems that
have been reported with this driver.

more to come in the next 24 hours, this is just the first stable result of
8 hours of hacking so far. The specification format for menus is pretty
much hammered out and the beginnings (very humble) of the doc hierarchy
are present for an example. It should be quite easy to add a lot more
menus quickly to this since I did go somewhat out of my way to make the
framework easy to work with. This is NOT the glorious semi-graphical
sysinstall (or whatever its name will be) that the install-geeks are working
on, this is simply the "son of sysinstall" I've been promising to write in
the interim for 2.0.5 and 2.1R (super install doesn't come until 2.2R).
