at insert time. When asking gibbs for approval for an MFC, this was
his reply:
1) It leaks memory if it can't allocate a path.
2) It defers allocation of aic->path until the call to scan the
bus. This means the path may be NULL when an interrupt occurs
prior to the call to scan the bus (stray bus reset for instance),
which will lead to a panic.
3) The driver in current doesn't recover from the failure to allocate
aic->path. The driver doesn't check during normal operation if
the path is NULL, so again a panic will result.
4) aic_cam_rescan calls malloc with M_WAITOK. aic_cam_rescan is called
from attach where it isn't necessarily safe to sleep.
5) And most importantly, it co-opts the xpt_periph from the driver level.
This was never part of the design (xpt_periph used to be static). Making
a call of this type may completely confuse the XPT if other XPT operations
are ongoing.
In the long term, Justin and Warner agreed to implement solution where
CAM itself will initiate the bus rescan if a new bus is added. For
the time being (and in particular in light of the upcoming 4.5
release), we now have camcontrol available on the boot floppy, and can
have pccardd initiate the rescan through it.
This change should/could be merged into other arch's release build
areas (PC98, Alpha), but since i cannot test a "make release" there, i
won't do this myself.

variable RELEASE_BUILD_FIXIT is defined, a camcontrol binary will be
built that only knows the "rescan" and "reset" subcommands. The
resulting code is small enough to still fit onto the boot floppy.

previous commit, it should always print due to lack of {} around the
second line in the if statement. The message should likely say
something more like "There's no hardware responding at this IRQ.
Device not present (or disbaled)," but that is too long. We generally
don't give elementary advise in device driver messages anyway. Be
that as it may, the problem with it printing all the time should be
corrected.
which caused incomplete snapshots to be taken. When background
fsck would run on these snapshots, the result would be files
being incorrectly released which would subsequently panic the
kernel with ``handle_workitem_freefile: inodedep survived'',
``handle_written_inodeblock: live inodedep'', and
``handle_workitem_remove: lost inodedep'' errors.
and the reference to db_regs is *extern* from alpha/include/db_machdep.h
(put it in alpha/alpha/machdep.c)- this avoids the problems we've had
about different 'common' sizes prohibiting the kernel from linking.
Alfred, I took a look at retry_blockingfilelocklist() and the
solution seemed simple enough. Please correct me if I am wrong.
It seems said routine doesn't take into account boundary conditions
when putting back file_lock entries into the blocked lock-list.
Specifically, it fails when the file_lock being put back is the
last element in the list, and when it is the only element in the
list. I've included a patch below.
Basically, it introduces another variable: pfl, which keeps track
of the list item before ifl. That way if nfl is NULL, ifl gets
inserted after pfl. If pfl is also NULL, then it gets inserted
at the head of the list (since it was the only element in the
list).

the error case if the received frame is to long.
The frame size notification came from code in the SIS driver, and
the support for long frames derived from the NetBSD Tulip driver.

cpuid with %eax=1 will return a logical cpu count in bits 16-23 of %ebx.
Bit 29 is actually 'TM' according to AP-485. This signifies the presence
of the thermal control circuit (which I believe can slow the clock down
to reduce core temperature).

without affecting the other cpus (eg: cyrix, see initcpu.c and the special
cache handling for these cpu types).
