- Unify bus reset/probe sequence. Whenever bus attached at boot or later,
CAM will automatically reset and scan it. It allows to remove duplicate
code from many drivers.
- Any bus, attached before CAM completed it's boot-time initialization,
will equally join to the process, delaying boot if needed.
- New kern.cam.boot_delay loader tunable should help controllers that
are still unable to register their buses in time (such as slow USB/
PCCard/ CardBus devices), by adding one more event to wait on boot.
- To allow synchronization between different CAM levels, concept of
requests priorities was extended. Priorities now split between several
"run levels". Device can be freezed at specified level, allowing higher
priority requests to pass. For example, no payload requests allowed,
until PMP driver enable port. ATA XPT negotiate transfer parameters,
periph driver configure caching and so on.
- Frozen requests are no more counted by request allocation scheduler.
It fixes deadlocks, when frozen low priority payload requests occupying
slots, required by higher levels to manage theit execution.
- Two last changes were holding proper ATA reinitialization and error
recovery implementation. Now it is done: SATA controllers and Port
Multipliers now implement automatic hot-plug and should correctly
recover from timeouts and bus resets.
- Improve SCSI error recovery for devices on buses without automatic sense
reporting, such as ATAPI or USB. For example, it allows CAM to wait, while
CD drive loads disk, instead of immediately return error status.
- Decapitalize diagnostic messages and make them more readable and sensible.
- Teach PMP driver to limit maximum speed on fan-out ports.
- Make boot wait for PMP scan completes, and make rescan more reliable.
- Fix pass driver, to return CCB to user level in case of error.
- Increase number of retries in cd driver, as device may return several UAs.
format is higher than 6-bit instead of relying VGA compatibility flag.
This fixes palette problem of NVIDIA GeForce 6600. Reduce code differences
between palette load/save functions while we are here.

Also, account for a quirk of AMD/ATI HPET which reports number of timers
instead of id of the last timer as manadated by the specification.
Currently this has no effect on functionality but in the future we may
make actual use of the HPET timers, not only of its timecounter.

igb now has a queue notion that has a single interrupt
with an RX/TX pair, this will reduce the total interrupts
seen on a system. Both em and igb have a new watchdog
method. igb has fixes from Pyun Yong-Hyeon that have
improved stability, thank you :)
I wish to MFC this for 7.3 asap, please test if able.
Limit early revisions from 6Gb/s to 3Gb/s by default, or they negotiate
only 1.5Gbps, when 3Gb/s devices connected.
Add dummy driver for PATA part of these controllers, preventing generic
driver attach them. It causes system freeze when SATA controller used after
PATA was touched.
the intention of having two ttys pointing to the same cfe console device was.
Also we were not initializing the output[] array passed in as input to
tty_makedev() so one name of the ttys was garbage.
Fix the code that calls cfe_write() to deal with the case where only a partial
buffer is written out.
cfe_cngetc() needs to return if there is no character available as input.
If we don't do this then the cfe_timeout() function will spin forever
because cfe_cngetc() will only ever return if there is valid input.

frontend uses the same uPD7210 backend as the pcii ISA frontend, so
the backend has to cope with both situations.
Also, hide the first printf in pcii_probe (address mismatch) behind
bootverbose as the ISA bus parent tries to probe all configured ISA
devices against each driver, so a the console has been cluttered with
this message for a bunch of unrelated driver probes.

. Properly allocate all IO space resources. These cards scatter their
IO addresses over a range of 0x1600 bytes, and they require an
additional address for "special interrupt handling".
. Implement the "special interrupt handling" per the GPIB-PCIIA
Technical Reference Manual; this was apparently not declared for the
clone card this driver has been originally implemented for, but it
turned out to be needed for both, an original NI brand PCII/PCIIA
card as well as the Axiom AX5488 clone.
. Add some diagnostic messages for various resource allocation etc.
failures during probe.
. Add some comments about the structure of the IO address space that
is used by these cards.

implementation of heartbeat interval was 2 but there was typo which
caused the heartbeat is sent approximately every 5 seconds. This
caused unintended controller reset by firmware because firmware
thought OS was crashed.

- Change the meaning of "mix" OSS control. Now it controls loopback level,
according to comments in soundcard.h.
- Allow AD1981HD codecs to use playback mixer. Now driver should be able to
really use it.
- Fix bug in shared muters operation.

This failure is generally observed when broadcast frames are received

errors.
- Small changes to driver flags display.
