Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
branches:
Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

turns runs its tasks free of Giant too. It is intended that as drivers
become locked down, they will move out of the old, Giant-bound taskqueue
and into this new one. The old taskqueue has been renamed to
taskqueue_swi_giant, and the new one keeps the name taskqueue_swi.
correctly tell CAM to requeue the command and then freeze it's queue. The
problem was that when resources became available again, it wouldn't tell
CAM to unfreeze it's queue, so no more commands would ever be delivered.
This is simialr to the bug that was fixed in the cciss driver last year.
This is a bug in 4-STABLE also, but is probably masked by the OS being
fast enough to drain the completion queue before it fills up.
Also add some diagnostics avaialble when compiled with MLY_DEBUG.
Thanks very much to LSI Corp for donating equipment to track this down,
and Vaidus Damosevicius for pestering me long enough to get it fixed.
environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

visible change is that a TASK_DESTROY() macro has been added to mirror
the TASK_INIT() macro to destroy a task before it is free'd.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

- All sources are built in a single object, reducing namespace pollution.
- Kill the ready queue, and handle a busy response to mly_start in callers
rather than deferring the command.
- Improve our interaction with CAM:
- Don't advertise physical channels as SCSI busses by default.
- use the SIM queue freeze capability rather than queueing CDBs internally.
- force bus reprobe at module load time.
- Clean up more resources in mly_free.
- Tidy up debugging levels.
- Tidy up handling of events (mostly just code cleanliness).
- Use explanatory macros for operations on bus/target/channel numbers.
- Convert to a more efficient queueing implementation.
- Don't allocate command buffers on the fly; simply work from a
static pool.
- Add a control device interface, for later use.
- Handle controller overload better as a consequence of the
improved queue implementation.
- Add support for the XPT_GET_TRAN_SETTINGS ccb, and correctly
set the virtual SCSI channels up for multiple outstanding I/Os.
- Update copyrights for 2001.
- Some whitespace fixes to improve readability.
Due to a misunderstanding on my part, previous versions of the
driver were limited to a single outstanding I/O per virtual drive.
Needless to say, this update improves performance substantially.
because it only takes a struct tag which makes it impossible to

Define __offsetof() in <machine/ansi.h>
Define offsetof() in terms of __offsetof() in <stddef.h> and <sys/types.h>
Remove myriad of local offsetof() definitions.
Remove includes of <stddef.h> in kernel code.
NB: Kernelcode should *never* include from /usr/include !
Make <sys/queue.h> include <machine/ansi.h> to avoid polluting the API.
Deprecate <struct.h> with a warning. The warning turns into an error on
