is limited to the number of maximum physical disks. Actually, this isn't
probably *quite* right yet for one RAID volume, and if we ever end up
with finding a device that supports more than one RAID volume (not likely),
it probably won't quite be right either.
The problem here is that the creating of this 'physical' passthru sim is
just a cheap way to leverage off the CAM midlayer to do our negotiation
for us on the subentities that make up a RAID volume. It almost causes
more trouble than it is worth because we have to remember which side
we're talking to in terms of forming commands and which target ids are
real and so on. Bleah.
+ Skip trying to actually do SPI settings for the RAID volumes on the

The underlying real physical devices will have the negotiation performed
and the Raid volume will inherit the resultant settings. At the sime time,
non-RAID devices can be on the same real bus, so *do* perform negotiations
with them.

go update the settings on the card itself (dunno how this got nuked).
At this point, negotiations *seem* to be being done (again) correctly for

now right for other non-RAID entities on the same bus (I ended up with
3 out of 8 other disks still at narror/async- haven't the slightest
idea why yes).
Finally, negotiations on a normal bus seem to work (again).

other timeouts could not happen while suspending, including timeouts
for things like msleep. This caused the system to hang on suspend
when the cbb was enabled, since its suspend path powered down the
socket which used a timeout to wait for it to be done.
APM now creates a thread when it is enabled, and deletes the thread
when it is disabled. This thread takes the place of the timeout by
doing its polling every ~.9s. When the thread is disabled, it will
wakeup early, otherwise it times out and polls the varius things the
old timeout polled (APM events, suspend delays, etc).
This makes my Sony VAIO 505TS suspend/resume correctly when APM is
enabled (ACPI is black listed on my 505TS).
This will likely fix other problems with the suspend path where
drivers would sleep with msleep and/or do other timeouts. Maybe
there's some special case code that would use DELAY while suspending
and msleep otherwise that can be revisited and removed.

EHCI spec for linking in new qTDs into an asynchronous QH. This
requires that there is a qTD marked as not active and not halted
at the start of the QH's list, and the hardware will know to re-fetch
the qTD on each pass rather than just looking at the overlay qTD:
"The host controller must be able to advance the queue from the
Fetch QH state in order to avoid all hardware/software race
conditions. This simple mechanism allows software to simply link
qTDs to the queue head and activate them, then the host controller
will always find them if/when they are reachable."
This is achieved by keeping an "inactivesqtd" entry on the QH list,
and re-using it each time as the start of the next transfer, and
allocating a new qTD to become the next inactivesqtd. Then a new
transfer can be activated by just setting its "active" flag, which
avoids all the previous messing with overlay qTD state in
ehci_set_qh_qtd().

before starting exploring (4 seconds), and extend the wait period

This works around a problem seen when there is more than one EHCI
controller in the system and you kldload usb.ko after the system
has booted. The problem is that usb.ko contains 3 separate PCI
drivers which get initialised one by one (uhci, ohci, ehci), and
when each driver is initialised, all PCI buses are re-probed after
just the addition of that driver. This means that there can be a
significant delay between the attaching of a companion controller
and the subsequent EHCI attach, so it is possible for the companion
controller's USB 1.x bus to be scanned before the EHCI driver gets
a chance to check if there is really a USB 2.x device connected.

- Rearrange the code related to RX interrupt handling so that ownership of
RX descriptors is immediately returned to the NIC after we have copied
the data of the hardware, allowing the NIC to already reuse the descriptor
while we are processing the data in ifp->if_input(). This results in a
small but measurable increase in RX throughput.
As a side-effect, this moves the workaround for the LANCE revision C bug
to am7900.c (still off by default as I doubt we will actually encounter
such an old chip in a machine running FreeBSD) and the workaround for the
bug in the VMware PCnet-PCI emulation to am79000.c, which is now also
only compiled on i386 (resulting in a small increase in RX throughput on
the other platforms).
- Change the RX interrupt handlers so that the descriptor error bits are
only check once in case there was no error instead of twice (inspired
by the NetBSD pcn(4), which additionally predicts the error branch as
false).
- Fix the debugging output of the RX and TX interrupt handlers; while
looping through the descriptors print info about the currently processed
one instead of always the previously last used one; remove pointless
printing of info about the RX descriptor bits after their values were
reset.
- Create the DMA tags used to allocate the memory for the init block,
descriptors and packet buffers with the alignment the respective NIC
actually requires rather than using PAGE_SIZE unconditionally. This might
as well fix the alignment of the memory as it seems we do not inherit
the alignment constraint from the parent DMA tag.
- For the PCI variants double the number of RX descriptors and buffers
from 8 to 16 as this minimizes the number of RX overflows im seeing with
one NIC-mainboard combination. Nevertheless move reporting of overflows
under debugging as they seem unavoidable with some crappy hardware.
- Set the software style of the PCI variants to ILACC rather than PCnet-PCI
as the former is was am79000.c actually implements. Should not make a
difference for this driver though.
- Fix the driver name part in the MODULE_DEPEND of the PCI front-end for
ether.
- Use different device descriptions for PCnet-Home and PCnet-PCI.
- Fix some 0/NULL confusion in lance_get().
- Use bus_addr_t for sc_addr and bus_size_t for sc_memsize as these are
more appropriate than u_long for these.
- Remove the unused LE_DRIVER_NAME macro.
- Add a comment describing why we are taking the LE_HTOLE* etc approach
instead of using byteorder(9) functions directly.
- Improve some comments and fix some wording.

gateways which are unreachable except through the default router. For
example, assuming there is a default route configured, and inserting
a route
"route add 64.102.54.0/24 60.80.1.1"
is currently allowed even when 60.80.1.1 is only reachable through
the default route. However, an error is thrown when this route is
utilized, say,
"ping 64.102.54.1" will return an error
This type of route insertion should be disallowed becasue:
1) Let's say that somehow our code allowed this packet to flow to
the default router, and the default router knows the next hop is
60.80.1.1, then the question is why bother inserting this route in
the 1st place, just simply use the default route.
2) Since we're not talking about source routing here, the default
router could very well choose a different path than using 60.80.1.1
for the next hop, again it defeats the purpose of adding this route.

Current code does not report link loss correctly - when link goes down,
mii_phy_tick() will notice that with up to mii_anegticks delay.
If link goes up during this delay then link flapping will be unnoticed
by driver.
2) mii_phy_add_media(): initialize sc->mii_anegticks for 10/100 media
3) Use MII_ANEGTICKS/MII_ANEGTICKS_GIGE defines instead of hardcoded values.
