This commit puts the relevant code snippets under #ifdef GONE_IN_5
(rather than #ifndef BURN_BRIDGES) thereby disabling the code now.
The code wil be entirely removed before 5.2 unless we find reasons
why this would be a bad idea.
Approach suggested by: imp
For the floppy driver, use fdcontrol to manipulate density selection.
For the CD drivers, the 'a' and 'c' suffix is without actual effect and
any applications insisting on it can be satisfied with a symlink:
ln -s /dev/cd0 /dev/cd0a
Ongoing discussion may result in these pieces of code being removed before
the 5-stable branch as opposed to after.
disabled.
- Change the apm driver to match the acpi driver's behavior by checking to
see if the device is disabled in the identify routine instead of in the
probe routine. This way if the device is disabled it is never created.
Note that a few places (ips(4), Alpha SMP) used "disable" instead of
"disabled" for their hint names, and these hints must be changed to
"disabled". If this is a big problem, resource_disabled() can always be
changed to honor both names.
Previously, any normal I/O on an fdc(4) device would fail with ENXIO
if the device had been opened in non-blocking mode and then closed
prior to the conventional access; that would last until the floppy
disk was ejected and re-inserted to raise the unit attention condition.
Add a clarifying comment.

There was at least one evil consequence of not doing so:
Some errors returned by fdstrategy() could be lost (EAGAIN,
in particular.)

Note: The DIOCGSECTORSIZE and DIOCGMEDIASIZE handlers withing
fdioctl() couldn't be just moved to below the existing check
for blocking mode because fd->ft can be non-NULL while still

expectation.
This solves the problem, where in a constellation with two (or more)
drives, an attempt is made to access a device name for that device
using a historic partition letter, like /dev/fd1c. This is supposed
to create a symlink to the master device, but previously, the link was
always created to /dev/fd0, even if the request was for fd1*.
Rename diskerr() to disk_err() for naming consistency.
Drop the by now entirely useless struct disklabel argument.
Add a flag argument for new-line termination.
Fix a couple of printf-format-casts to %j instead of %l.
Correctly print the name of all bio commands.
Move the function from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c,
and from <sys/disklabel.h> to <sys/disk.h>.
Use the new disk_err() throughout, #include <sys/disk.h> as needed.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for the sake of the aac disk drivers #ifdefs.
Remove unused disklabel members of softc for aac, amr and mlx, which seem
to originally have been intended for diskerr() use, but which only rotted
and got Copy&Pasted at least two times to many.

previously used "micro-optimization" (count-down loop) into a
pessimization. Now the loops are written in the more natural count-up
form.
Also, while being there, i made the logic in out_fdc() similar to the
logic in in_fdc(). The old implementation was a bit bogus anyway
since it first tested the DIO bit and only afterwards the RQM bit.
However, according to the description of the i82077, the DIO bit is
only guaranteed to be valid once the RQM bit is set. Thus, the old
implementatoin would have had the chance to misbehave on a controller
that is implemented in accordance with the i82077 description (but is
not bug-for-bug compatible).

before rev 1.229 (~ 100 ms). According to bde, some (old) broken
hardware could require it. In order to make timing more accurate than
what could be achieved with a loop around DELAY(1), increase loop
timing after the initial ~ 1 ms.
Also, move the declaration of FDSTS_TIMEOUT out from fdreg.h into fd.c
where it actually belongs to.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

otherwise breaks on the Alpha arch. I think this is wrong since i'd
actually like to probe for a PC architecture, not for a particular CPU
type. Anyway, now it's again the way it used to be.
. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
commonly used media densities. So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
asked. It's all that easy, isn't it? :)
. Device density handling has been completely overhauled. The old way
of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there. Instead,
the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive. The first
subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
devices are freely programmable. They can be assigned an arbitrary
name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
depending on the taste of the administrator. After creating a
subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
densities by using fdcontrol(8). Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.
. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
devices down from the loader via device flags. On IA32
architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
configuration records though. On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
assumed.
. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.
. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention. (Can
be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
perform the autoselection.)
. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
it -- not all do these days).
. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
only a few ioctls are accepted. This is necessary to run fdformat
on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).
. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
the chips anyway.
BUGS and TODOs:
. All documentation update still needs to be done.
. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
have yet to figure out why this happens. "Standard" formats like
720 and 1440 KB do work, however.
. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).
. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
really detected. Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.
