The device index number stored in the unit number of sa(4) devices is
only used to print debug messages. Get rid of this index number and use
devtoname() to just print the entire device name.
things around so the periph destructors look alike. Based on a patch

When trying to read scratched or damaged CDs and DVDs, the default
mechanism is sub-optimal. Programs like ddrescue do much better if
you turn off retries entirely, since their algorithms are designed
scan big areas fast, then winnow the areas down. Turning off retries
speeds these programs up by as much as 20x, since the drive is able to
'stream past' many small errors...
The sysctl/tunable kern.cam.cd.retry_count controls this. That
defaults to '4' (for a total of 5 attempts). Setting to 0 turns off
all retry attempts.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were
reserved for a device major number. Not very long after I turned
dev2unit(), minor(), unit2minor() and minor2unit() into macro's.
The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.
We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
is a lot of (external) code that may still depend on them. For now it's
harmless to remove all invocations of unit2minor() and minor2unit().

because the media was removed, the periph would get its refcount dropped
and ultimately freed before getting unlocked. This created a dangling
pointer that was easy to trip over. This fixes a common source of
crashes with removaable media, but problems remain and will get tracked
down.

Note opcodes for scanner and communication devices are taken from the previous
revision because they are not listed in the files any more.
Also, note newly added ASCs are all marked with 'XXX TBD' and take SS_RDEF action
for now. Some ASCs need SS_TUR for error recovery or SS_FATAL to prevent further
retrials. We should deal with them later.

the referenced data is only obtained/changed in the device open handler,
and the ioctl handler can only run after the open handler. Also fix a
few nearby style issues.

reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.
Assign approximate why values to all current consumers of the

Most SIMs have been updated with a reasonable argument, but a few exceptions
just pass NULL for now. This argument isn't used yet and the newbus
integration likely won't be ready until after 7.0-RELEASE.
sysctl_handle_int is not sizeof the int type you want to export.
The type must always be an int or an unsigned int.
Remove the instances where a sizeof(variable) is passed to stop
people accidently cut and pasting these examples.
In a few places this was sysctl_handle_int was being used on 64 bit
types, which would truncate the value to be exported. In these
cases use sysctl_handle_quad to export them and change the format
to Q so that sysctl(1) can still print them.
