"nowin95" as arguments to the "-o" flag, as alternatives to "-G", "-s",
"-l", and "-9"; when running "mount_msdos" by hand, that doesn't let you
do anything you couldn't already do, but if you're letting "mount" run
it, it lets you specify those options, which is especially useful if,
for example, you have an entry in "/etc/fstab" for some file system,
with "noauto" set, so you can conveniently mount a DOS partition from a
removable drive and force it to treat the file system as VFAT rather
than boring old FAT.

This means that the driver will add/delete routes when it knows it is
up/down, rather than have the generic code belive it is up if configured.
This is probably most useful for serial lines, although many PHY chips
could probably tell us if we're connected to the cable/hub as well.
sizeof(ifr->ifr_addr) for the variable length field ifr->ifr_addr.sa_len.

camcontrol tur 1:2:0
or
camcontrol tur 1:2
These changes are fully backwards compatible with the original device
specification syntax (-n dev -u unit), so it is possible to use either
method to specify a device now.
The device specification changes do not affect the rescan, reset or debug
commands, since by design, those commands work on a bus or bus:target:lun
basis only.
Also, shorten the default usage statement so that it fits in a 24 column
terminal. The full usage statement is still available by using the "help"
"-h" or "-?" arguments to camcontrol.

options:
-o fstab brings in filesystem options specified in /etc/fstab
-o current incorporates the current set of options for the file
system
The rightmost option wins in the case of conflicting options being
specified.
E.g.:-
# mount -u -o current,nosuid /home
will preserve the current mount options while adding the 'nosuid' flag.

NOTE: These changes will require recompilation of any userland
applications, like cdrecord, xmcd, etc., that use the CAM passthrough
interface. A make world is recommended.
camcontrol.[c8]:
- We now support two new commands, "tags" and "negotiate".
- The tags commands allows users to view the number of tagged
openings for a device as well as a number of other related
parameters, and it allows users to set tagged openings for
a device.
- The negotiate command allows users to enable and disable
disconnection and tagged queueing, set sync rates, offsets
and bus width. Note that not all of those features are
available for all controllers. Only the adv, ahc, and ncr
drivers fully support all of the features at this point.
Some cards do not allow the setting of sync rates, offsets and
the like, and some of the drivers don't have any facilities to
do so. Some drivers, like the adw driver, only support enabling
or disabling sync negotiation, but do not support setting sync
rates.
- new description in the camcontrol man page of how to format a disk
- cleanup of the camcontrol inquiry command
- add support in the 'devlist' command for skipping unconfigured devices if
-v was not specified on the command line.
- make use of the new base_transfer_speed in the path inquiry CCB.
- fix CCB bzero cases
cam_xpt.c, cam_sim.[ch], cam_ccb.h:
- new flags on many CCB function codes to designate whether they're
non-immediate, use a user-supplied CCB, and can only be passed from
userland programs via the xpt device. Use these flags in the transport
layer and pass driver to categorize CCBs.
- new flag in the transport layer device matching code for device nodes
that indicates whether a device is unconfigured
- bump the CAM version from 0x10 to 0x11
- Change the CAM ioctls to use the version as their group code, so we can
force users to recompile code even when the CCB size doesn't change.
- add + fill in a new value in the path inquiry CCB, base_transfer_speed.
Remove a corresponding field from the cam_sim structure, and add code to
every SIM to set this field to the proper value.
- Fix the set transfer settings code in the transport layer.
scsi_cd.c:
- make some variables volatile instead of just casting them in various
places
- fix a race condition in the changer code
- attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error. This should
fix all of the cases where people have devices that return weird errors
when they don't have media in the drive.
scsi_da.c:
- attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error
scsi_pass.c:
- for immediate CCBs, just malloc a CCB to send the user request in. This
gets rid of the 'held' count problem in camcontrol tags.
scsi_pass.h:
- change the CAM ioctls to use the CAM version as their group code.
adv driver:
- Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately.
adw driver
- Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately.
aha driver:
- Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.
ahc driver:
- Allow setting offset and sync rate separately
bt driver:
- Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.
NCR driver:
- Fix the ultra/ultra 2 negotiation bug
- allow setting both the sync rate and offset separately
Other HBA drivers:
- Put code in to set the base_transfer_speed field for
XPT_GET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.
