SIM. Drivers that are not yet MPSAFE register Giant and operate as
usual. RIght now, no drivers are MPSAFE, though a few will be changed
in the coming week as this work settles down.
The driver API has changed, so all CAM drivers will need to be recompiled.
The userland API has not changed, so tools like camcontrol do not need to
be recompiled.
would be able to work with aac(4).
This approach is used by some other drivers as well. However, we
need a more generic way to do this in order to avoid having to
special case headers in individual drivers for each platform.

the CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE that has been in the tree for some years now.
This first step consists solely of adding to or correcting
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE pieces in the kernel source tree such
that a both a GENERIC (at least on i386) and a LINT build
with CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE as an option will compile correctly
and run (at least with some the h/w I have).
After a short settle time, the other pieces (making
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE the default and updating libcam
and camcontrol) will be brought in.
This will be an incompatible change in that the size of structures
related to XPT_PATH_INQ and XPT_{GET,SET}_TRAN_SETTINGS change
in both size and content. However, basic system operation and
basic system utilities work well enough with this change.

are held. This fixes a panic on system boot up when the aac(4) device's
bus_generic_attach() routine is called.

variant of the hardware. Also document some magic values and fix some minor
nearby whitespace.

the modified interface that they use. Changes include:
- Register a different interrupt handler for the new interface. This one is
INTR_MPSAFE, not INTR_FAST, and directly processes completions and AIFs.
- Add an event registration and callback mechanism for the ioctl and CAM
modules can know when a resource shortage clears. This condition was
previously fatal in CAM due to programming oversights.
- Fix locking to play better with newbus.
- Provide access methods for talking to cards with the NEWCOMM interface.
- Fix up the CAM module to be better suited for dealing with newer firmware
on the PERC Si/Di series that requires talking to plain SCSI via aac.
- Add a whole slew of new PCI Id's.
Thanks to Adaptec for providing an initial version of this work and for
answering countless questions about it. There are still some rough edges in
this, but it works well enough to commit and test for now.

risky because the "current time" is supposed to be fed to the card during
initialization, and the current time is supposed to be put into each command
that is sent to the card. Hopefully either the card doesn't actually care
about the timestamps, or it doesn't care about the absolute values so long
and the relative values are consistent. Not an MFC candidate until more
thorough testing can be done.

appropriate PCI Id info for them.

running. There is no way to recover from this, but at least it can give
a hint as whether the car has crashed (which happens all too often).
