controllers typically have multiple channels and support a number
of serial communications protocols. The scc(4) driver is itself
an umbrella driver that delegates the control over each channel
and mode to a subordinate driver (like uart(4)).
The scc(4) driver supports the Siemens SAB 82532 and the Zilog
Z8530 and replaces puc(4) for these devices.
in the ISR doesn't read the actual socket event register, but instead
reads garbage (usually 0xffffffff, but other times other things).
This totally violates the PCI spec, but happens rarely enough that a
workaround is in order. This adds one test when we have a real
interrupt to service (which is very rare), and doesn't affect the
usualy 'nothing to see here' case at all.
Problem reported by many, but sam@ gave me this workaround after
diagnosing the problem.
some systems were designed so that AML writes to various resources shared
with OS drivers, including the RTC, PIC, PCI, etc. These writes could
collide with writes by the OS and should never be performed. For now, we
print a message if such an access occurs, but do not block it. To block
the access, the tunable "debug.acpi.block_bad_io" can be set to 1. In the
future, we will flip the switch and this will become the default.
Information about this problem was found in Microsoft KB 283649. They
block IO accesses if the BIOS indicates via _OSI that it is Windows 2001
or higher. They always block accesses to the PIC, cascaded PIC, and ELCRs,
no matter how old the BIOS.
systems (blade servers). On most systems, this is implemented as an IO
write to the SMI port and the BIOS generates the actual reset.

Kernel changes:
Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by
kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and
munmap(). A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been
added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve
the list of currently loaded kernel modules.
The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour
of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces
space wastage in the log.
Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00". Teach hwpmc(4) to
handle the map change callbacks.
Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold
32 samples (up from 16).
Increment __FreeBSD_version.
libpmc(3) changes:
Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring
the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code.
pmcstat(8) changes:
Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M"
(mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control). Option "-k" now
takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with
the older invocation syntax.
Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for
interned strings. Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for
tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4).
Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending

the error on sparc64 hadn't changed since the last checkin, pass
LINT on other platforms and mpt doesn't work on sparc64 anyway
and the tinderbox build didn't work for me in a cross build case
on my main build machine (which runs RELENG_6). Sigh. Still
need to try harder.
A) Fibre Channel Target Mode support mostly works
(SAS/SPI won't be too far behind). I'd say that
this probably works just about as well as isp(4)
does right now. Still, it and isp(4) and the whole
target mode stack need a bit of tightening.
B) The startup sequence has been changed so that
after all attaches are done, a set of enable functions
are called. The idea here is that the attaches do
whatever needs to be done *prior* to a port being
enabled and the enables do what need to be done for
enabling stuff for a port after it's been enabled.
This means that we also have events handled by their
proper handlers as we start up.
C) Conditional code that means that this driver goes
back all the way to RELENG_4 in terms of support.
D) Quite a lot of little nitty bug fixes- some discovered
by doing RELENG_4 support. We've been living under Giant
*waaaayyyyy* too long and it's made some of us (me) sloppy.
E) Some shutdown hook stuff that makes sure we don't blow
up during a reboot (like by the arrival of a new command
from an initiator).
There's been some testing and LINT checking, but not as
complete as would be liked. Regression testing with Fusion
RAID instances has not been possible. Caveat Emptor.

scene (or cards that report they support XV), and in older machines
that have sockets that do not support XV, we were bogusly trying to
power them at XV rather than at 3.3V. Now, power up the card at the
lowest voltage supported by both the card and the socket.
