1. Correctly handle commands initiated by the adapter. These commands
are defered to a kthread responsible for their processing, then are
properly returned to the controller.
2. Add/remove disk devices when notified by the card that a container was
created/deleted/offline.
3. Implement crashdump functionality.
4. Support all ioctls needed for the management CLI to work. The linux
version of this app can be found at the Dell or HP website. A native
version will be forthcoming.

interrupt handler from the upper half, etc. This fixes some serious stability
problems that we were seeing on our production server. These patches have
been tested for almost 6 months and are a highly recommended MFC candidate.

Add the AAC_DEBUG option to enable debugging in the aac driver.
Correct a race condition in the interrupt handler where the
controller may queue a fib to a response queue after the driver
has serviced the queue but before the interrupt is cleared.
This could leave a completed fib stranded in the response queue
unless another I/O completed and generated another interrupt.

with the driver locking up under load.
- Restructure so that we use a static pool of commands/FIBs, rather than
allocating them in clusters. The cluster allocation just made things
more complicated, and allowed us to waste more memory in peak load
situations.
- Make queueing macros more like my other drivers. This adds queue stats
for free. Add some debugging to take advantage of this.
- Reimplement the periodic timeout scan. Kick the interrupt handler
and the start routine every scan as well, just to be safe. Track busy
commands properly.
- Bring resource cleanup into line with resource allocation. We should
now clean up correctly after a failed probe/unload/etc.
- Try to start new commands when old ones are completed. We weren't doing
this before, which could lead to deadlock when the controller was full.
- Don't try to build a new command if we have found a deferred command.
This could cause us to lose the deferred command.
- Use diskerr() to report I/O errors.
- Don't bail if the AdapterInfo structure is the wrong size. Some variation
seems to be normal. We need to improve our handing of 2.x firmware sets.
- Improve some comments in an attempt to try to make things clearer.
- Restructure to avoid some warnings.
