it's been printing out scary messages about "Unhanded Event Notify Frame"
that are needlessly worrisome to users. Change this warning to only print
out at an elevated debugging level.
to kproc_xxx as they actually make whole processes.
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 mfi(4) LSI MegaSAS RAID card. Looking at the Linux driver for the
mpt(4) it should be 0x0062 and not 0x0060. Tested with an mfi card
of this device id.

now takes a device_t to be the parent of the bus that is being created.
Most SIMs have been updated with a reasonable argument, but a few exceptions
just pass NULL for now. This argument isn't used yet and the newbus
integration likely won't be ready until after 7.0-RELEASE.
mpt.h:
Add support for reading extended configuration pages.
mpt_cam.c:
Do a top level topology scan on the SAS controller. If any SATA
device are discovered in this scan, send a passthrough FIS to set
the write cache. This is controllable through the following
tunable at boot:
hw.mpt.enable_sata_wc:
-1 = Do not configure, use the controller default
0 = Disable the write cache
1 = Enable the write cache
The default is -1. This tunable is just a hack and may be
deprecated in the future.
Turning on the write cache alleviates the write performance problems with
SATA that many people have observed. It is not recommend for those who
value data reliability! I cannot stress this strongly enough. However,
it is useful in certain circumstances, and it brings the performence in line
with what a generic SATA controller running under the FreeBSD ATA driver
provides (and the ATA driver has had the WC enabled by default for years).

in the coming week as this work settles down.
The driver API has changed, so all CAM drivers will need to be recompiled.
The userland API has not changed, so tools like camcontrol do not need to
be recompiled.

read wasn't flagging the SYNC mode was enabled. The temp
values for offset and sync period were uint8_t, but were
being assigned and shifted from a uint32_t value.
This didn't show up in testing because a random number
of 1030 cards set a bit that says "honor BIOS negotiation",
which means this whole code path was skipped.
This should clear up at least some of the negotation
issues that have been seen.
Fix things to use the LSI-Logic Fusion Library mask and shift names for
offset and sync, no matter how awkward they are, in preference to just
plain numbers.
This allows us to play nicely on SANs when we have target mode
enabled in f/w but have neither the scsi_targbh enabled or
scsi_targ with a target enabled.
the CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE that has been in the tree for some years now.
This first step consists solely of adding to or correcting
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE pieces in the kernel source tree such
that a both a GENERIC (at least on i386) and a LINT build
with CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE as an option will compile correctly
and run (at least with some the h/w I have).
After a short settle time, the other pieces (making
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE the default and updating libcam
and camcontrol) will be brought in.
This will be an incompatible change in that the size of structures
related to XPT_PATH_INQ and XPT_{GET,SET}_TRAN_SETTINGS change
in both size and content. However, basic system operation and
basic system utilities work well enough with this change.

Unfortunately, the QUEUE FULL event only tells you Bus && Target.
It doesn't tell you lun. In order for the XPT_REL_SIMQ action to
work, we have to have a real lun. But which one? For now, just
iterate over MPT_MAX_LUNS.
Practically speaking, this is only going to be happening for lower
quality SAS or SATA drives behind the SAS controller, which means
only lun 0, so it's not so bad.

is to able to be called after *all* attach and enable events are done.
We establish a SYSINIT hook to call this handler. The current usage for it
is to add scsi target resources *after* all enables are done. There seems
to be some dependencies between different halves of a dual-port with respect
to target mode.
Put in more meaningful event messages for some events- in particular
QUEUE FULL events so we can see what the queue depth was when the
IOC sent us this message.
