has many positive effects including improved smp locking, reducing
interdependencies between mounts that can lead to deadlocks, etc.
- Add the softdep worklist and various counters to the ufsmnt structure.
- Add a mount pointer to the workitem and remove mount pointers from the
various structures derived from the workitem as they are now redundant.
- Remove the poor-man's semaphore protecting softdep_process_worklist and
softdep_flushworklist. Several threads may now process the list
simultaneously.
- Add softdep_waitidle() to block the thread until all pending
dependencies being operated on by other threads have been flushed.
- Use softdep_waitidle() in unmount and snapshots to block either
operation until the fs is stable.
- Remove softdep worklist processing from the syncer and move it into the
softdep_flush() thread. This thread processes all softdep mounts
once each second and when it is called via the new softdep_speedup()
when there is a resource shortage. This removes the softdep hook
from the kernel and various hacks in header files to support it.

to call back for completition and something else is holding the taskqueue
waiting for ATA to return data.
This should clear up the "semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!"
in most situations, and log "taskqueue timeout - completing request directly"
instead, with a delayed "WARNING - freeing taskqueue zombie request" when
the taskqueue finally calls us back with the now stale request.
(It would have been nice if there was a way to remove a scheduled item from
a taskqueue, but that is not currently implemented in the kernel).
A real fix for this is in the works but wont make it to 6.1RELEASE
definite MFC candidate.
- Don't use a common buffer in the softc to store per-command data. Reserve
a buffer in the command itself.
- Don't allocate DMA memory for the kernel command structures when all you
really need is DMA memory for the scratch buffer embedded in them. Instead
allocate a slab for the scratch buffers and divide it up as needed.
- Call bus_dmamap_unload() at the completion of commands.
- Preserve and clear the CAM CCB status flags at completion.
- Reorder some low-level command operations to try to close races.
- Limit the simq to 32 commands for now. There are some serious problems
with the driver under load that are not well understood, so keeping the
simq lower helps avoid this. It has been tested at a higher value, but
this is a safe value that doesn't show much performance degredation.
These changes allow the driver to work reliably with >4GB of memory on i386
and amd64, and also work around deadlocks seen under very high load in
certain situations. The work-around is far from ideal, but without and
documentation it is hard to know what the right fix is.

By default syscons(4) will look for the kbdmux(4) keyboard first, and then,
if not found, look for any keyboard.
Current kbd code is modified so if kbdmux(4) is the current keyboard, all
new keyboards are automatically added to the kbdmux(4).
Switch to kbdmux(4) can be done at boot time, by loading kbdmux module at
the loader prompt, or at runtime, by kldload'ing the kbdmux module and
releasing current active keyboard.
If, for whatever reason, kbdmux(4) is not required/desired then just do
not load it and everything should work as before. It is also possible to
kldunload kbdmux at runtime and syscons(4) will automatically switch to
the first available keyboard.

- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose
interrupts).

to allow PHOLD()'s of processes that have P_WEXIT set as once that flag
is set we aren't guaranteed to block in exit1() waiting for the PRELE()
(we might already be past the wait). However, curproc is a bit of a
special case. By the time P_WEXIT is set, the process is single-threaded,
so the only thread for which can do a PHOLD(curproc) is the thread
executing in exit1(). The fact that this thread is executing ensures
that the process won't go away before the current hold is released via
PRELE(). This fixes some panics due to kicking off softupdate operations
inside of exit1() after the recent PHOLD changes to fix ptrace/procfs vs
exit races.

mpt_soft_reset more than once. And to wait for MPT_DB_STATE_READY
twice. I mean, this is crucial- give the IOC a chance to get
ready.
If mpt_reset is called to reinit things, and we succeed, make
sure to re-enable interrupts. This is what has mostly led to
system lockup after having to hard reset the chip. Also, if
we think that interrupts aren't function in mpt_cam_timeout,
for goodness sake, turn them on again.
In read_cfg_header, return distinguishing errnos so the caller
can decide what's an error. It's *not* an error to fail to
