73b70d4d13 Ten'th update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
It been awhile since the last major update, as a benefit there
are some cool things in this one (and new bugs probably :) )...

The ATA driver has grown "real" timeout support for all devices.
This means that it should be possible to get in contact with
(especially) lost ATAPI devices. It also means that the ATA
driver is now usable on notebooks as it will DTRT on resume.

An experimental hack at utilizing the Promise66's at UDMA66 is
in there, but I cant test it. If someone feels like sending
me one, give me a ping.

The ATAPI DMA enableling scheme has been changed, also better DMA
support for the Aladdin chipset has been implemented for ATAPI
devices. Note that the Aladdin apparently only can do DMA reads
on ATAPI devices, and the Promise cant do ATAPI DMA at all.
I have seen problems on some ATAPI devices that should be able
to run in DMA mode, so if you encounter problems with hanging
atapi devices during the probe, or during access, disable DMA
in atapi-all.c, and let me know. It might be nessesary to do this
via a "white list" for known good devices...

The ATAPI CDROM driver can now use eject/close without hanging and
the bug that caused reading beyond the end of a CD has been fixed.
Media change is also handled proberly. DVD drives are identified
and are usable as CDROM devices at least, I dont have the HW to
test this further, see above :).

The ATAPI tape driver has gotten some support for using the DSC
method for not blocking the IDE channel during read/write when
the device has full buffers. It knows about the OnStream DI-30
device, support is not completed yet, but it can function as a
primitive backup medium, without filemarks, and without bad media
handeling. This is because the OnStream device doesn't handle this
(like everybody else) in HW. It also now supports getting/setting
the record position on devices that supports it.

Some rather major cleanups and rearrangements as well (cvs -b diff
is your freind). I'm closing in on declaring this for beta code,
most of the infrastruture is in place by now.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still alpha level code.
This driver can hose your disk real bad if anything goes wrong, but
now you have been warned :)

But please tell me how it works for you!

Enjoy!

663cbe4fc2 Convert DEVFS hooks in (most) drivers to make_dev().
Diskslice/label code not yet handled.

Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)

Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c

The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.

A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.

A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().

51df811367 Support DMA on ATAPI devices (finally).
This makes my system use only ~5% CPU on reading 4.5Mbyte/sec
from a CDROM, which before was limitted to 1.8Mbyte/sec due
to 100% CPU load..

1823d8fdf6 Nine'th update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
The atapi subsystem has gotten better error handeling and timeouts,
it also tries a REQUEST SENSE command when devices returns errors,
to give a little more info as to what went wrong. It might be a
little verbose for now, but I'm interested in as much feedback on
errors as possible, especially timeouts, as I'm a bit in doubt if
I've chosen resonable default values everywhere.

The disk driver has been changed a bit to prepare for tagged queing,
which is next on my list.

The disk driver has grown a dump routine, I got one implementation
from Darrell Anderson <anderson@cs.duke.edu> which also did
partial dumps (usefull on big memory machines) I left out the
partial stuff for now, and changed the rest alot to fit into the new
ad_request framework.

Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...

But please tell me how it works for you!

Enjoy!

6997b3715f Eigth update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
Fixed problems:

    LS120/ZIP drives still currupted data.
	Reworked once again, buffered I/O is just ignoring any sizehints
	it is given :(
	Now the atapifd driver splits up requests for devices that has
	limitted transfer size.

    ISA only configs fails on boot with interrupt timeouts.
	The new-bus integration introduced a bug where the softc ptr
	was lost during the probe.

Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.

7ba9cdf259 Seventh update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
Fixed problems:

    LS120 drives currupted data.
	The workaround for drives not supporting upto 64K transfers
	has been reworked. It works now both on LS120 & ZIP drives.

    ISA only configs wont compile.
	Fixed.

    The ATA driver wont share interrupts.
	Fixed.

    The "unwanted interrupt" warning gave wrong controller.
	Another lun<>unit messup from the newbus integration.

Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.

087d4857e5 Bring the 'new-bus' to the i386. This extensively changes the way the
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition.  eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager.  Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.

(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
 ATA driver to the Alpha.  Soren, back this out if you need to.)

This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.

The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.

eaa27b537c Sixth update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
Fixed problems:

    Promise controllers was not always set up correctly.
        Parantheses are a good thing, fixed.

    Some older CDROM's could hang the probe.
        Proberly wait for the drive to catch its breath after IDENTIFY.

    Some CD writers fails because they dont support rezero.
        Rearranged the code to not use rezero.

    Warnings now that we use EGCS.
        Fixed.

cc8db63d86 Fourth update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.

DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.

The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.

Fixed problems:

    All known hang problems should be solved
	The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
	the reports I have lying around (I hope).

    Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
	A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)

But please tell me how it works for you!

b16da6db45 ZIP drives should now be working, I'm not sure about LS120 drives,
reports on those most welcome!

Fixed problems:

    Hang on probe on "fantom" devices.
	The probe now use a timeout to avoid hangs if no interrupt
	is recevied.

There has also been more general code clenaups, and some reorgs.

84b9188bc6 Now all actual probing of both ATA & ATAPI devices are done after
interrupts are enabled, this kills the last "unwanted interrupts"
(and there is no ugly hacks like in the old driver to avoid them).
COmmand interrupt devices are now supported, this applies mostly
to older CDROM's and apparently also the ZIP.

Fixed problems:

    Number of total sectors wrong on some older drives.
        Fixed by not using the LBA size unless we know its valid.

There has also been more general code clenaups, some reorgs also.

fb974f8ed9 Added driver to support ATAPI floppies ie LS-120 & ZIP drives.
Added "options ATA_STATIC_ID" that wires ATA disks like the old wd driver.

Fixed problems:

	Dont use more sectors/intr than the drive supports.
	Fix announce of > 8.4G disks.
	Dont call ad_interrupt/ad_transfer when no disks config'd.
	Use the right page# for CDR write mode params.
	Fix breakage when no PCI support in kernel.
	Implement DEVFS stuff.

General code clenaup.

6f8b8ad7c0 Finally!!
The much roumored replacement for our current IDE/ATA/ATAPI is
materialising in the CVS repositories around the globe.

So what does this bring us:

A new reengineered ATA/ATAPI subsystem, that tries to overcome
most of the deficiencies with the current drivers.

It supports PCI as well as ISA devices without all the hackery
in ide_pci.c to make PCI devices look like ISA counterparts.

It doesn't have the excessive wait problem on probe, in fact you
shouldn't notice any delay when your devices are getting probed.

Probing and attaching of devices are postponed until interrupts
are enabled (well almost, not finished yet for disks), making
things alot cleaner.

Improved performance, although DMA support is still WIP and not
in this pre alpha release, worldstone is faster with the new
driver compared to the old even with DMA.

So what does it take away:

There is NO support for old MFM/RLL/ESDI disks.
There is NO support for bad144, if your disk is bad, ditch it, it has
already outgrown its internal spare sectors, and is dying.

For you to try this out, you will have to modify your kernel config
file to use the "ata" controller instead of all wdc? entries.

example:

# for a PCI only system (most modern machines)
controller 	ata0
device		atadisk0	# ATA disks
device		atapicd0	# ATAPI CDROM's
device		atapist0	# ATAPI tapes

#You should add the following on ISA systems:
controller	ata1	at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
controller	ata2	at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15

You can leave it all in there, the system knows how to manage.

For now this driver reuses the device entries from the old system
(that will probably change later), but remember that disks are
now numbered in the sequence they are found (like the SCSI system)
not as absolute positions as the old system.

Although I have tested this on all the systems I can get my hands on,
there might very well be gremlins in there, so use AT YOU OWN RISK!!
This is still WIP, so there are lots of rough edges and unfinished
things in there, and what I have in my lab might look very different
from whats in CVS at any given time. So please have all eventual
changes go through me, or chances are they just dissapears...

I would very much like to hear from you, both good and bad news
are very welcome.

Enjoy!!
