21c3594ca9 Fixed missing filemark on close if data written to tape.
Don't try to flush buffers if the drive says it has none.
More error checking and reporting.

Hack: if drive hangs, it can be reset by issuing a mt -f device offline.

I've been able to make several 4G backups. However there is still problems
with some configurations. It is not clear if it is hardware or driver
problems yet.

f19ba03122 First pre alpha Work In Progress commit of a IDE/ATAPI tape driver.
It does endeed work, but there is still some problems to solve.
I get a "nonrecovered data error" from time to time, but besides
this it has backed up several Gigs allready.

Please report any success/failure directly to me.

Thanks to Warner Losh for providing a drive to use in writing
this driver!
