register instead of AAC_RX_FWSTATUS, as that is the way it's done in
Adaptec's vendor driver and in the Linux drivers. (The same applies
to aac_rkt_get_fwstatus as well.)
However, a concern has been raised about the compatibility of this
change and old hardware / firmware versions. In the absense of
specific information, revert to the original behaviour if the firmware
does not support the "New comm." interface. Users of old cards or
firmware haven't reported the problems that are potentially solved by
switching to OMR0.
It is only really necessary for open(2)'s third argument, which is optional and
obtained through stdarg(3). open(2)'s third argument is 32bit and we pass 64
bits. On little endian it works, because we take lower 32 bits, but on big
endian platforms we take upper 32 bits, so we end up with 0.

different cpu is still assigned to that vector by never clearing idt
entries. This was only provided as a debugging feature and the bugs
are caught by other means.
- Drop the sched lock when rebinding to reassign an interrupt vector
to a new cpu so that pending interrupts have a chance to be delivered
before removing the old vector.

- protect againtst recursions,
- add new devices detection using ata_identify().
Improve ata_identify():
- do not add duplicate device if device already exist.
Rework SATA hot-plug events handling. Instead of unsafe duplicate
implementation use common ata_reinit() to handle all state changes.
All together this gives quite stable and robust cold- and hot-plug operation,
invariant to false, lost and duplicate events.
properly. Otherwise the minimum of 1 is used and you can
only insert a single partition/slice and only at sector
0 (index 1).
o When adding a partition/slice, recalculate the index after
the start and size of the partition/slice are adjusted to
make them a multiple of the track size. Since the precheck
method sets the index based on the start of the partition
as provided by the user, we know that we're off by at most
1 and adjusting the index is safe.
[1] Add the support for the NARK controller which seems a variant of
the i960Rx.
[2] Split up memory regions and other resources in 2 different parts
as long as NARK uses them separately (it is not clear to me
why though as long as there are no more informations available
on this controller). Please note that in all the other cases,
the regions overlaps leaving the default behaviour for all the
other controllers.
[3] Implement a clock daemon responsible for maintain updated the
wall clock time of the controller (run any 30 minutes)*.

is not implemented with callouts as in our in-tree driver.
predefined set of methods, which are set in osd_register() and called
via osd_call(). Currently, no methods are defined, though prison
objects will have some in the future.
Expand the locking from a single per-type mutex to three different kinds
of locks (four if you include the requirement that the container
(e.g. prison) be locked when getting/setting data). This clears up one
existing issue, as well as others added by the method support.
