folks.
My guess is that reducing the number of tags is just masking the real
problem for the PR submitter. I'll re-open the PR and see if I can work
with the submitter to diagnose the problem.

we *really* are.
It should be noted that there is a degenerate case where soft tape
location will be lost (not causing a frozen state- but causing
the loss of reporting fileno/blockno)- that's where you backspace
over a filemark- you stop backspacing as soon as you cross the
filemark, but you have no idea what the record number now is because
you have no idea how many records you are into the file you just
backed into. Such is life.
While I'm at it, also pick up residuals from writing filemarks.

only CCB type but also extra flags- one of which can be "position
updated".
In other changes: Add in a SA_QUIRK_NO_CPAGE quirk so that it's possible
to avoid using a (broken) device's implementation of he DEVICE COMPRESSION
page.
Also do a couple of printout cleanups.
As per some discussion on FreeBSD-scsi, skip doing tape flushing
if we're reading tape logical block location (MTIOCRDSPOS).
MS will be treated as having this quirk. In the event that we falsely
identify one that doesn't need it, no harm will be done. Ken
suggested that we make this more generic since there may be more
needed in the future.

field in CDB' error when attempting to start a caddy-type CD drive,
since those drives apparently in general refuse to load a medium. Since
we never advertised the feature to load the medium upon calling
cdstartunit() (i. e. upon receipt of a CDIOCSTART ioctl command), nobody
should have relied on it. Besides, nobody noticed so far at all that
this command is failing for caddy-type drives... Only few applications
seem to use it at all (among them is workman, which made me notice it).

CDs.
With audio CDs, you can't just do a READ(10) call on most drives without
first setting the blocksize with a mode select command. The disklabel code
does a read of the first sector of the media to find a label if it exists.
This caused drives to return an error when an audio CD was in the drive,
due to the problem described above.
The solution is to read the table of contents on the CD, and only attempt
to read the disklabel if the first track is a data track.
This works on all the various CD and DVD media I have tried, but further
testing (especially with Video CDs and other mode 2 media) will be
needed to determine if this is a universal solution.
Return ENOTSUP for any opcode that is not supported by the XPT
device.
Add back a missing local declaration that seems to have been deleted
by my last commit.
The XPT uses this to prevent tags from being used on parallel SCSI
interfaces immediately after a bus reset or BDR so that controllers
have an oportunity to renegotiate without tag messages in the way.
Somehow this got disabled... the functionality has been here for
quite some time.

This allows writing to DVD-RAM, PD and similar drives that probe as CD
devices. Note that these are randomly writeable devices, not
sequential-only devices like CD-R drives, which are supported by cdrecord.
Add a new flag value for dsopen(), DSO_COMPATLABEL. The cd(4) driver now
uses this flag instead of the DSO_NOLABELS flag. The DSO_NOLABELS always
used a "fake" disklabel for the entire disk, provided by the caller.
With the DSO_COMPATLABEL flag, dsopen() will first search the media for a
label, and if it finds a label, it will use that label. Otherwise it will
use the fake disklabel provided by the caller. This provides backwards
compatibility, since we will still have labels for ISO9660 media.
It also provides new functionality, since you can now have a regular BSD
disklabel on read-only media, or on writeable media (e.g. DVD-RAM).
Bruce and I both think that we should eventually (in a few years) get
away from using disklabels for ISO9660 media, and just use the whole disk
device (/dev/cd0). At that point disklabel handling in the cd(4) driver
could follow the "normal" model, as used in the da(4) driver.
Also, clean up the path in a couple of places in cdregister(). (Thanks to
Nick Hibma for catching that bug.)

because it only takes a struct tag which makes it impossible to
use unions, typedefs etc.
Define __offsetof() in <machine/ansi.h>
Define offsetof() in terms of __offsetof() in <stddef.h> and <sys/types.h>
Remove myriad of local offsetof() definitions.
Remove includes of <stddef.h> in kernel code.
NB: Kernelcode should *never* include from /usr/include !
Make <sys/queue.h> include <machine/ansi.h> to avoid polluting the API.
Deprecate <struct.h> with a warning. The warning turns into an error on

type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.

- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
- The ihandlers array is now gone. Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
that just contains SWI handlers.
- Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.
