- Introduce the amr_io_lock to control access to command queues, bio queues,
and the hardware.
- Eliminate the taskqueue and do all completion processing in the ithread.
- Assign a static slot number to each command instead of doing a linear
search for free slots each time a command is needed.
- Modify the interrupt handler to more closely match what Linux does, for
safety.
properly support bounce buffers and resource shortages. This allows the
driver to work properly and reliably with more than 4GB of RAM. Of the
three data paths that exist in the driver, (block, CAM, ioctl), the ioctl
path has not been well tested with these changes due to difficulty with
finding an application that uses it that actually works.

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.
Retain the mistake of not updating the devstat API for now.
Spell bioq_disksort() consistently with the remaining bioq_*().
#include <geom/geom_disk.h> where this is more appropriate.
in geom_disk.c.
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.
as module. This also fix's issue kern/45713.
Fix - polling was implemented incorrectly for
adapter enquiry and adapter flush.
(2) Problem: PANIC when unloading driver
as module.
Fix - device nodes are not destroyed for amr0,
and amrd* when driver is unloaded
(3) Problem: PANIC from loading driver when
3ware adapter present, error message "Warning
"amrd is usurping twed's bmaj"
Fix - put #idef freebsd version < 500000 for
bmaj -1 -> amrd_cdevsw
(4) Problem: warnings in driver when compiling
with DAMR_DEBUG param enabled in Makefile
Fix - fix the warnings so driver can compile
when -Werror is present in Makefile.

Rename diskerr() to disk_err() for naming consistency.
Drop the by now entirely useless struct disklabel argument.
Add a flag argument for new-line termination.
Fix a couple of printf-format-casts to %j instead of %l.
Correctly print the name of all bio commands.
Move the function from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c,
and from <sys/disklabel.h> to <sys/disk.h>.
Use the new disk_err() throughout, #include <sys/disk.h> as needed.
Bump __FreeBSD_version for the sake of the aac disk drivers #ifdefs.
Remove unused disklabel members of softc for aac, amr and mlx, which seem
to originally have been intended for diskerr() use, but which only rotted
and got Copy&Pasted at least two times to many.

- New support for 40LD firmware found in Series 475 and 471 adapters.
- Better support for 8LD firmware adapters
- Ioctl passthrough interface for userland utilities.
- Improved error handling and queueing.
- Several bugfixes (including the 'still open' shutdown bug and
closing some small race conditions).
- Zone-style command allocator, reducing memory wasted under heavy
load conditions.
- CAM interface (disabled and not fully working) for SCSI passthrough
access to non-disk devices
Thanks to AMI for supplying a pile of new adapters and various other
help in making this happen.
Exceptions:
Vinum untouched. This means that it cannot be compiled.
Greg Lehey is on the case.
CCD not converted yet, casts to struct buf (still safe)
atapi-cd casts to struct buf to examine B_PHYS
- Add periodic status monitoring routine. Currently just detects
lost commands, further functionality pending data from AMI.
Add some new commands states; WEDGED (never coming back) and
LATE (for when a command that wasmarked as WEDGED comes bacj,
- Remove a number of redundant efforts to poll the card for completed
commands. This is what interrupt handlers are for.
- Limit the maximum number of outstanding I/O transactions. It seems
that some controllers report more than they can really handle,
and exceding this limit can cause the controller to lock up.
- Don't use 'wait' mode for anything where the controller might not
be able to generate interrupts. (Keep the 'wait' mode though sa it
will become useful when we start taking userspace commands.
- Use a similar atomic locking trategy to the Mylex driver to prevent
some reentrancy problems.
- Correctly calculate the block count for non-whoile-bloch transfers
(actually illegal).
- Use the dsik device's si_drv1 field instead of b_driver1 in the
buf struct to pass the driver identifier arond.
- Rewrite amr_start and amr_done() along the lines of the Mylex driver

- Always force the PCI busmaster bit on.
