This change will likely be revised after consideration of a general

Some older firmware versions have issues that can be worked around by
avoiding certain operations. Add a sysctl dev.aac.#.firmware_build to
make it easy for scripts or userland tools to detect the firmware

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of

reason why it shouldn't be static.
kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

- Fix races on setting AAC_AIFFLAGS_ALLOCFIBS
- Remove some unused AAC_IFFLAGS_* bits.
Please note that the kthread still makes a difference between the
total mask and AAC_AIFFLAGS_ALLOCFIBS because more flags may be
added in the future to aifflags.

can end up in an infinite loop in the while loop in aac_release_command.
Further investigation into the issue mentioned by Scott Long [1] will be
necessary.

arcconf tool by Adaptec already seems to use for identifying the
Serial Number of the devices.
Some simple things (like FIB setup and bound checks) are retrieved
from the Adaptec's driver, but this implementation is quite different
because it does use the normal buffer dmat area for loading segments
and not a special one (like the Adaptec's one does).

- Force sequential bus scanning. It seems parallel scanning is in fact
slower and causes more harm than good[1]. Adjust a comment to reflect that.

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.

The default (64K) is too pessimistic for "new comm" hardware.
Also, this is bad because multiple controllers get limited by
the global tunable.

Adaptec's vendor driver and in the Linux drivers. (The same applies
to aac_rkt_get_fwstatus as well.)
However, a concern has been raised about the compatibility of this
change and old hardware / firmware versions. In the absense of
specific information, revert to the original behaviour if the firmware
does not support the "New comm." interface. Users of old cards or
firmware haven't reported the problems that are potentially solved by
switching to OMR0.

[2] Split up memory regions and other resources in 2 different parts
as long as NARK uses them separately (it is not clear to me
why though as long as there are no more informations available
on this controller). Please note that in all the other cases,
the regions overlaps leaving the default behaviour for all the
other controllers.

wall clock time of the controller (run any 30 minutes)*.

* Please note that originally, in the Adaptec driver, the clock daemon
is not implemented with callouts as in our in-tree driver.
