>Synopsis: Booting w/scsi tape in drive causes first use to fail
Booting with a tape in a SCSI tape drive will cause the first
use of the tape to fail with the following message:
st0: bad request, must be between 0 and 0.

worm.o: Undefined symbol `_STUNIT' referenced from text segment
I copied the STUNIT definition from the old scsiconf.c into this file to
work around this problem.
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.

function calls. Broken tracking of open partitions gets fixed as a side
effect. Races in sdopen() and sdioctl() become more numerous than before.
Close the device in sdsize(). Media removal could not have worked right
when unused swap devices were held open. There may now be a problem
with used swap devices not being held open.
Fix ancient operator precedence bug in sddump(). It may have been
possible to attempt dumping to unloaded media.
Remove NetBSD ifdefs. We're too different now, and the NetBSD driver was
already too different for them to be relevant.
Remove support for soft write protection. There are no ioctls to set it,
and this driver never set it either. It was used in the wd driver to
disable writing to unlabelled disk, but we want to support writing to
foreign partitions on unlabeled disks.
Clean up some formatting and restore some old-style function headers.

Fix it so that calls to extend_get won't dereference 0 when "swap

This probably really fixes Poul's "boot with no SCSI" problem.
tape drive. I traced it to sys/scsi/scsi_base.c where some code were added
to print the return values of the sense command. My tape drive returned a
extended flags value of 0x20, so the key that is the lower 4 bits, is 0.
The code uses "key-1" to index into a table and then the kernel go to never-
never land.
Here is a fix for this. Will somebody please apply it?

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.
