Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
resources. (Note that the correct range is 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5.) Such
devices will be detected as follows:
fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller (i82077, NE72065 or clone)> port
0x3f7,0x3f4-0x3f5,0x3f2-0x3f3,0x3f0-0x3f1 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0
To do this, we find the minimum and maximum start addresses for the
resources and use them as the base for the IO and control ports.

Document this in the header and man page so that other developers do not
develop so many bumps on the head after banging it against the wall.

the "disappearing subdisks" problem when new subdisks can't be created
due to some errors.
This is in fact an ugly hack, but a more elegant solution would probably
require a redesign of vinum in several places.

on the card, unmap it first. This allows it to be picked up properly when
the queue gets kicked again. This was the root problem for the lost command
(i.e. stuck in getblk/vinvalb) problem. While here, panic if commands don't
map correctly instead of just silently ignoring the problem and dropping
command. Also slow down the dynamic allocation of new commands.
It should be safe to go back into the aac waters. Thanks to everyone who
suffered through this and provided good feedback.

have to do some quick redesign.
Add ioctl handlers for ISP_GETROLE and ISP_SETROLE ioctls.
handling of resources shortages. The driver is now so fast that it can
completely fill all 512 slots on the card, but for some reason only 511
slots are being allocated. Anything that tries to go into the 512th
slot gets silently lost. Both bugs need to be fixed at a later date,
but this should fix the reports of hangs in getblk and vinvalb.
edge cases in the loop.
- Try to grab a command before dequeueing the bio from the bioq. The old
behaviour of requeuing deferred bios to the end of the bioq is arguably
wrong. This should be fixed in the future to check the bioq head without
automatically dequeueing the bio.
