The hardware always gives read access for privilege level 0, which
means that we cannot use the hardware access rights and privilege

better check for 'adjacent'. The old code assumed that if two resources
were adjacent in the linked list that they were also adjacent range wise.
This is not true when a resource manager has to manage disparate regions.
For example, the current interrupt code on i386/amd64 will instruct
irq_rman to manage two disjoint regions: 0-1 and 3-15 for the non-APIC
case. If IRQs 1 and 3 were allocated and then released, the old code
would coalesce across the 1 to 3 boundary because the resources were
adjacent in the linked list thus adding 2 to the area of resources that
irq_rman managed as a side effect. The fix adds extra checks so that
adjacent unallocated resources are only merged with the resource being
freed if the start and end values of the resources also match up. The
patch also consolidates the checks for adjacent resources being allocated.

* Link devices return invalid status (_STA) values. The results are very
unreliable -- sometimes never present. Just ignore the status and pick
the best configuration from _PRS.
* Link devices return invalid current settings (_CRS). Even after setting
the link value, many systems still return a different setting for _CRS.
When setting an IRQ, don't bother to check _CRS to see if we succeeded.
Note that we still check _CRS before routing and this should be addressed
as well.

by a transaction performing a driver handled message sequence (an
scb with the MK_MESSAGE flag set).
SCBs that perform host managed messaging must always be
at the head of their per-target selection queue so that
the firmware knows to manually assert ATN if the current
negotiation agreement is packetized. In the past we
guaranteed this by queuing these SCBs separarately in
the execution queue. This exposes the system to potential
command reordering in two cases:
1) Another SCB for the same ITL nexus is queued that does
not have the MK_MESSAGE flag set. This SCB will be
queued to the per-target list which can be serviced
before the MK_MESSAGE scb that preceeded it.
2) If the target cannot accept all of the commands in the
per-target selection queue in one selection, the remainder
is queued to the tail of the selection queues so as to
effect round-robin scheduling. This could allow the
MK_MESSAGE scb to be sent to the target before the
requeued commands.
This commit changes the firmware policy to defer queuing
MK_MESSAGE SCBs into the selection queues until this can
be done without affecting order. This means that the
target's selection queue is either empty, or the last
SCB on the execution queue is also a MK_MESSAGE SCB.
During any wait, the firmware halts the download of new
SCBs so only a single "holding location" is required.
Luckily, MK_MESSAGE SCBs are rare and typically occur only
during CAM's bus probe where only one command is outstanding
at a time. However, during some recovery scenarios, the
reordering *could* occur.
aic79xx.c:
Update ahd_search_qinfifo() and helper routines to
search for pending MK_MESSAGE scbs and properly
restitch the execution queue if either the MK_MESSAGE
SCB is being aborted, or the MK_MESSAGE SCB can be

aborts.
Enable LQOBUSFREE status to assert an interrupt.
This should be redundant since a BUSFREE interrupt

but on the Rev A, this doesn't seem to be guaranteed.
When a PPR request is rejected when a previously
existing packetized agreement is in place, assume
that the target has been reset without our knowledge
and revert to async/narrow transfers. This corrects
two issues: the stale ENATNO setting that was used
to send the PPR is cleared so the firmware is not
confused by a future packetized selection with
ATN asserted but no MK_MESSAGE flag in the SCB and
it speeds up recovery by aborting any pending
packetized transactions that by definition are now
dead.
When re-queueing SCBs after a failed negotiation
attempt, ensure command ordering by freezing the
device queue first.
Traverse the list of pending SCBs rather than the
