Added CONTROL device that only does user-ioctl and nothing else;
Added protection so user-ioctl requires write access;
Clean up scsiconf.h a little. It needs more work.
user-level part has already been commited.)
Note that i've lost the "official" code for this; it went into the
system after 1.1.5.1. The commited code is my own version, but it has
proven to work for me for more than a year now.
flags parameter to all xxstart routines so that the correct information can
be passed down into the device specific routines. This is needed to ensure
that ccb/scb allocation routines don't hang.

sd.c: Julian's removal of subdriver requests
st.c, scsi_tape.h: Julian's suport of compressed tape drives
Note: compressed tape drives are still not working fully.
scsiconf.h, scsi_base.c, scsi_driver.c: address problems in probes
and error console logs
Reenabled "SCIOCOMAND" ioctl.
Restructured so low level drivers can easily request retries.
Added preliminary fixed SCSI devices (should be revisited before 2.1)
Added "ssc" device that can have its' (HBA, ID, LUN) set via ioctl.
and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:
- A text description of the device
- A ``state''---unknown, unconfigured, idle, or busy
- A generic parent device (with support in the m.i. code)
- An interrupt mask type field (which will hopefully go away) so that
. ``doconfig'' can be written
This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
Changes are only effective, if NEW_SCSICONF is defined:
1) Added u_int16 quirks to struct scsi_link for device quirks.
2) Added void *devmodes to struct scsi_link for tape density modes.
3) Modified selectdev() to return first full match (with wildcard).
With this patch all device dependent configuration is done in one place
(scsiconf.c), while there were some specifications in st.c and some
hardware dependent drivers (ie. ncr.c) before.
with BOUNCE_BUFFERS. This is more intuitive, and is better for future
multiplatform support. Added BOUNCE_BUFFERS option to the GENERIC and
LINT kernel config files.
cd.c:
Initialize channel info in CDIOCSETVOL ioctl.
Correct CDIOCSTOP and CDIOCEJCET ioctls to use scsi_stop_unit
instead of scsi_start_unit.
Add CDIOCALLOW and CDIOCPREVENT ioctls.
ch.h:
Return EBUSY instead of ENXIO if the device is already in use.
scsi_base.c:
Add scsi_stop_unit routine.
sd.c:
Add mising indirection through sc_link to sd_get_parms routine
when checking for media loaded.
st.c:
Return EBUSY instead of ENXIO if the device is already in use.
Clear the SDEV_WAITING flag in ststart if we do the wakeup call.
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.

Line ended with comma (``,'') instead of semicolon (``;''),

Some tapes won't do anything until you tell them to load.
Other tapes think that being asked to load is a great excuse to
make the next command return a "unit attention" (media changed) error.
Since we need to do the load, throw in a dummy instruction to cop the
error.
specifically for DEC DAT drives.
