- newbus plumbing. Each atapicam bus is a child off of a parent ata channel
bus. This is somewhat of a hack, but allows the ata core to be completely
free of atapicam knowledge.
- No more global lists of softc's and no more groping around in internal ata
structures on each command.
- Giant-free operation of the completion handler.
- Per-bus mutex for protecting the busy list and synchronizing detach.
- Lots of streamlining and dead code elimination, better adherence to the
CAM locking protocol.
This feature still requires that the appropriate atapi-* driver be present
for each atapi device that you want to talk to (i.e. atapi-cd for cdroms).
It does work both compiled into the kernel and as a loadable module.

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64, powerpc, arm, possibly more
to see what features they may support before calling identify/probe/attach.
This is necessary because the ACPI 3.0 spec requires driver support be
advertised before running any methods. For now, the flags are as specified
in for the _PDC and _OSC methods but we can support private flags as needed.
Add an implementation of this for acpi_cpu. It checks all its children
(notably cpufreq drivers) and calls the _PDC method to report the results.

safe since it checks the return value of devclass_get_device(), which would
always say that the highest unit device doesn't exist.

- ffs_disk_prewrite was pulling the vp from the buf and checking for
COPYONWRITE, when really it wanted the vp from the bufobj that we're
writing to, which is the devvp. This lead to us skipping the copy on
write to all file data, which significantly broke snapshots for the
last few months.

many. This should probably change from a retry count to an abort when
we are no longer cleaning any buffers.

to later in the function.
