that a particular device driver is not Giant-challenged.
SPECFS will DROP_GIANT() ... PICKUP_GIANT() around calls to the
driver in question.
Notice that the interrupt path is not affected by this!
This does _NOT_ work for drivers accessed through cdevsw->d_strategy()
ie drivers for disk(-like), some tapes, maybe others.
Setting this flag on an ethernet interface blocks transmission of packets
and discards incoming packets after BPF processing.
This is useful if you want to monitor network trafic but not interact
with the network in question.

if they are not going to cross over themselves. Also change how the list of
completed user threads is tracked and passed to the KSE. This is not
a change in design but rather the implementation of what was originally
envisionned.
1) Add new card entry for nortel eMobility wi card (from email
that I've lost the sender on :-(
2) put ata devices at config 0x1 rather than auto. This should be
better for nearly all cases.
MFC after: 3 days
aic79xx.c:
o Remove redundant ahd_update_modes() call.
o Correct panic in diagnostic should state corruption cause
the SCB Id to be invalid during a selection timeout.
o Add workaround for missing BUSFREEREV feature in Rev A silicon.
o Corect formatting nits.
o Use register pretty printing in more places.
o Save and restore our SCB pointer when updating the waiting queue
list for an "expected" LQ-out busfree.
o In ahd_clear_intstat, deal with the missing autoclear in the
CLRLQO* registers.
o BE fixup in a diagnostic printf.
o Make sure that we are in the proper mode before disabling
selections in ahd_update_pending_scbs.
o Add more diagnostics.
o task_attribute_nonpkt_tag -> task_attribute: we don't need a
nonpkt_tag field anymore for allowing all 512 SCBs to be
used in non-packetized connections.
o Negotiate HOLD_MCS to U320 devices.
o Add a few additional mode assertions.
o Restore the chip mode after clearing out the qinfifo so that
code using ahd_abort_scbs sees a consistent mode.
o Simplify the DMA engine shutdown routine prior to performing
a bus reset.
o Perform the sequencer restart after a chip reset prior to
setting up our timer to poll for the reset to be complete.
On some OSes, the timer could actually pre-empt us and order
is important here.
o Have our "reset poller" set the expected mode since there is
no guarantee of what mode will be in force when we are called
from the OS timer.
o Save and restore the SCB pointer in ahd_dump_card_state(). This
routine must not modify card state.
o Ditto for ahd_dump_scbs().
aic79xx.h:
o Add a few more chip bug definitions.
o Align our tag on a 32bit boundary.
aic79xx.reg:
aic79xx.seq:
o Start work on removing workarounds for Rev B.
o Use a special location in scratch from for stroring
our SCBPTR during legacy FIFO allocations. This corrects
problems in mixed packetized/non-packetized configurations
where calling into a FIFO task corrupted our SCBPTR.
o Don't rely on DMA priority to guarantee that all data in
our FIFOs will flush prior to a command completion notification
going out of the command channel. We've never seen this assumption
fail, but better safe than sorry.
o Deal with missing BUSFREEREV feature in H2A.
o Simplify disconnect list code now that the list will always
have only a single entry.
o Implement the AHD_REG_SLOW_SETTLE_BUG workaround.
o Swith to using "REG_ISR" for local mode scratch during
our ISR.
o Add a missing jmp to the data_group_dma_loop after our
data pointers have been re-initialized by the kernel.
o Correct test in the bitbucket code so that we actually
wait for the bitbucket to complete before signaling the
kernel of the overrun condition.
o Reposition pkt_saveptrs to avoid a jmp instruction.
o Update a comment to reflect that the code now waits for
a FIFO to drain prior to issuing a CLRCHN.
aic79xx_inline.h:
o Remove unused untagged queue handling code.
o Don't attempt to htole64 what could be a 32bit value.
aic79xx_pci.c:
o Set additional bug flags for rev A chips.
from DHCP in the event that no gateway is returned from DHCP, breaking
the assumption that we skip the routing insertion of the gateway
if the sin length is zero. Check also for s_addr of 0 to avoid the
"Oh no, adding my default route failed" panic, making it possible
to pxeboot machines on segments without default routes. Arguably
this could be a bug in pxeboot, or in the TUNABLE code, but this
makes my boxes boot.
va_end closer to the __vfprintf() call, free the buffer when __vfprintf()
fails and don't bother trying to shrink the buffer with realloc() before
returning it.
