reduce lock congestion and improve SMP scalability of the SCSI/ATA stack,
preparing the ground for the coming next GEOM direct dispatch support.
Replace big per-SIM locks with bunch of smaller ones:
- per-LUN locks to protect device and peripheral drivers state;
- per-target locks to protect list of LUNs on target;
- per-bus locks to protect reference counting;
- per-send queue locks to protect queue of CCBs to be sent;
- per-done queue locks to protect queue of completed CCBs;
- remaining per-SIM locks now protect only HBA driver internals.
While holding LUN lock it is allowed (while not recommended for performance
reasons) to take SIM lock. The opposite acquisition order is forbidden.
All the other locks are leaf locks, that can be taken anywhere, but should
not be cascaded. Many functions, such as: xpt_action(), xpt_done(),
xpt_async(), xpt_create_path(), etc. are no longer require (but allow) SIM
lock to be held.
To keep compatibility and solve cases where SIM lock can't be dropped, all
xpt_async() calls in addition to xpt_done() calls are queued to completion
threads for async processing in clean environment without SIM lock held.
Instead of single CAM SWI thread, used for commands completion processing
before, use multiple (depending on number of CPUs) threads. Load balanced
between them using "hash" of the device B:T:L address.
HBA drivers that can drop SIM lock during completion processing and have
sufficient number of completion threads to efficiently scale to multiple
CPUs can use new function xpt_done_direct() to avoid extra context switch.
Make ahci(4) driver to use this mechanism depending on hardware setup.

drivers.
The bug occurrs when a userland process has the driver instance
open and the underlying device goes away. We get the devfs
callback that the device node has been destroyed, but not all of
the closes necessary to fully decrement the reference count on the
CAM peripheral.
The reason is that once devfs calls back and says the device has
been destroyed, it is moved off to deadfs, and devfs guarantees
that there will be no more open or close calls. So the solution
is to keep track of how many outstanding open calls there are on
the device, and just release that many references when we get the
callback from devfs.
scsi_pass.c,
scsi_enc.c,
scsi_enc_internal.h: Add an open count to the softc in these
drivers. Increment it on open and
decrement it on close.
When we get a devfs callback to say that
the device node has gone away, decrement
the peripheral reference count by the
number of still outstanding opens.
Make sure we don't access the peripheral
with cam_periph_unlock() after what might
be the final call to
cam_periph_release_locked(). The
peripheral might have been freed, and we
will be dereferencing freed memory.
scsi_ch.c,
scsi_sg.c: For the ch(4) and sg(4) drivers, add the
same changes described above, and in
addition, fix another bug that was
previously fixed in the pass(4) and enc(4)
drivers.
These drivers were calling destroy_dev()
from their cleanup routine, but that could
cause a deadlock because the cleanup
routine could be indirectly called from
the driver's close routine. This would
cause a deadlock, because the device node
is being held open by the active close
call, and can't be destroyed.

Revamp the CAM enclosure services driver.
This updated driver uses an in-kernel daemon to track state changes and
publishes physical path location information\for disk elements into the
CAM device database.
