register instead of AAC_RX_FWSTATUS, as that is the way it's done in
Adaptec's vendor driver and in the Linux drivers. (The same applies
to aac_rkt_get_fwstatus as well.)
However, a concern has been raised about the compatibility of this
change and old hardware / firmware versions. In the absense of
specific information, revert to the original behaviour if the firmware
does not support the "New comm." interface. Users of old cards or
firmware haven't reported the problems that are potentially solved by
switching to OMR0.
[1] Add the support for the NARK controller which seems a variant of
the i960Rx.
[2] Split up memory regions and other resources in 2 different parts
as long as NARK uses them separately (it is not clear to me
why though as long as there are no more informations available
on this controller). Please note that in all the other cases,
the regions overlaps leaving the default behaviour for all the
other controllers.
[3] Implement a clock daemon responsible for maintain updated the
wall clock time of the controller (run any 30 minutes)*.

is not implemented with callouts as in our in-tree driver.

to trip a bug causing the latter to return a zeroed struct
aac_adapter_info. This causes two issues. One is cosmetic only --
a verbose boot prints information about the controller, and shows all
zero:
aac0: Unknown processor 0MHz, 0MB memory (0MB cache, 0MB execution),
unknown battery platform
The second problem is that the firmware version information is stored
away for aac_rev_check, for userland tools (like aaccli) to query via
the FSACTL_MINIPORT_REV_CHECK and FSACTL_LNX_MINIPORT_REV_CHECK ioctls.
When aaccli encounters this issue it prints
Command Error: <The current AFAAPI.DLL is too old to work with the
current controller software.>
Move the RequestSupplementAdapterInfo call after RequestAdapterInfo,
which seems to fix both problems.
- Resource allocation in aac_alloc (moved from from aac_init)
- Interrupt setup in aac_setup_intr (from aac_attach)
- Container probing in aac_get_container_info (from aac_startup and
aac_handle_aif)
- Firmware status check moved to aac_check_firmware from aac_init
putting the correct size in the fib header. Presumably the older firmware
silently ignored a bad size field.
(This change tested with a 3805 controller. Passthrough devices were
created when running firmware build 12814, but not 15323 or later. With
this change they're created for both old and new firmware versions.)

these ioctls when creating a RAID-10 array (and probably other operations
too).

Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.
I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.

the modified interface that they use. Changes include:
- Register a different interrupt handler for the new interface. This one is
INTR_MPSAFE, not INTR_FAST, and directly processes completions and AIFs.
- Add an event registration and callback mechanism for the ioctl and CAM
modules can know when a resource shortage clears. This condition was
previously fatal in CAM due to programming oversights.
- Fix locking to play better with newbus.
- Provide access methods for talking to cards with the NEWCOMM interface.
- Fix up the CAM module to be better suited for dealing with newer firmware
on the PERC Si/Di series that requires talking to plain SCSI via aac.
- Add a whole slew of new PCI Id's.
Thanks to Adaptec for providing an initial version of this work and for
answering countless questions about it. There are still some rough edges in
this, but it works well enough to commit and test for now.

risky because the "current time" is supposed to be fed to the card during
initialization, and the current time is supposed to be put into each command
that is sent to the card. Hopefully either the card doesn't actually care
about the timestamps, or it doesn't care about the absolute values so long
and the relative values are consistent. Not an MFC candidate until more
thorough testing can be done.

running. There is no way to recover from this, but at least it can give
a hint as whether the car has crashed (which happens all too often).

protect the registers so it was trivially possible for a sync command and
i/o command to fight each other and confuse the controller. Make the
sync fib alloc/release functions inline and remove the somewhat worthless
AAC_SYNC_LOCK_FORCE flag. Thanks to Adil Katchi for helping me to track
this down in RELENG_4.
