Shift to using the same queueing strategy that the amr driver uses.
Some simple tests indicate that we use about 2% of the CPU at around
500tps with the controller completely saturated with I/O.
the time spent at splbio(). We now avoid it unless we are actually
manipulating the command queues themselves. This doesn't improve
performance noticeably, but should improve concurrency somewhat.
(yet) compile and link. Renamed pcic back to pcic from pcicx, but
conditionalize its inclusion on pccard being included also. card is
the old and pccard is the new, which is a handy way to have both in
the tree at the same time.

incomplete and likely has problem. The code was originally pcmcia,
but I renamed it to pccard and made it compile on FreeBSD -current. I
converted SIMPLEQ to STAILQ as well as a few sc->dev.xname ->
device_printf changes. This is a green port of fairly mature code.
I derived this work from the FreeBSD newconfig project
(http://www.jp.freebsd.org/newconfig). Any problems with it are
likely introduced by me.

if_fe.c uses PCCARD_MODULE() and is part of GENERIC. I've #ifdef'ed out
the #include of "card.h" to hopefully disable pccard support in this
driver until it can be converted. I'm not positive this will fix make
release, but it can't possibly make it any worse than it is now.
I hope this stuff settles down soon.
yet, but that should be resolved shortly. Non memory mapped ed
devices should work, but I cannot test this since my only ed card is
memory mapped.

I'm committing this from a laptop running this driver. Have only one
devclass for all ep devices (at least for pccard and eisa) so unit
numbering is sane. Might not work with both isa and non-isa devices
on the same system until ep is updated (Matt has some patches in the
pipeline which should resolve this, he wanted me to commit this so he
can resolve any conflicts against cvs rather than my patches).

This has not been reviewed by bde, so I'm committing to resolve any
issues he has with this when he returns from FreeBSD CON 99.
I've had four reports of this working for them. I've been able to
communicate to both my built in modem and a pccard modem with these
patches.
o Gut the compatibility interface, you now must attach with newbus.
o Unit numbers from pccardd are now ignored. This may change the units
assigned to a card. It now uses the first available unit.
o kill old skeleton code that is now obsolete.
o Use newbus attachment code.
o cleanup interfile dependencies some.
o kill list of devices per slot. we use the device tree for what we need.
o Remove now obsolete code.
o The ep driver (and maybe ed) may need some config file tweaks to
allow it to attach. See config files that were committed for examples
on how to do this.
Drivers to be commited shortly.
This is an interrum fix until the new pccard. ed, ep and sio will be
supported by me with this release, although others are welcome to try
to support other devices before new pccard is working.
I plan on doing minimal further work on this code base. Be careful
when upgrading, since this code is known to work on my laptop and
those of a couple others as well, but your milage may vary.
BUGS TO BE FIXED:
o system memory isn't allocated yet, it will be soon.
o No devices actually have a pccard newbus attach in the tree.
BUGS THAT MIGHT BE FIXED:
o card removal, including suspend, usually hangs the system.
Many thanks to Peter Wemm and Doug Rabson for helping me to fill in
the missing bits of New Bus understanding at FreeBSD Con '99.
slightly older version of this code was tested by BDE and I.
Also fixes a lockup situation when kva gets too fragmented.
Remove the maxvmiobufspace variable and sysctl, they are no longer
used. Also cleanup (remove) #if 0 sections from prior commits.
This code is more of a hack, but presumably the whole buffer cache
implementation is going to be rewritten in the next year so it's no
big deal.
