1. Implement a large set of ioctl shims so that the Linux management apps
from LSI will work. This includes infrastructure to support adding, deleting
and rescanning arrays at runtime. This is based on work from Doug Ambrosko,
heavily augmented by LSI and Yahoo.
2. Implement full 64-bit DMA support. Systems with more than 4GB of RAM
can now operate without the cost of bounce buffers. Cards that cannot do
64-bit DMA will automatically revert to using bounce buffers. This option
can be forced off by setting the 'hw.amr.force_sg32" tunable in the loader.
It should only be turned off for debugging purposes. This work was sponsored
by Yahoo.
3. Streamline the command delivery and interrupt handler paths after
much discussion with Dell and LSI. The logic now closely matches the
intended design, making it both more robust and much faster. Certain
i/o failures under heavy load should be fixed with this.
4. Optimize the locking. In the interrupt handler, the card can be checked
for completed commands without any locks held, due to the handler being
implicitely serialized and there being no need to look at any shared data.
Only grab the lock to return the command structure to the free pool. A
small optimization can still be made to collect all of the completions
together and then free them together under a single lock.
Items 3 and 4 significantly increase the performance of the driver. On an
LSI 320-2X card, transactions per second went from 13,000 to 31,000 in my
testing with these changes. However, these changes are still fairly
experimental and shouldn't be merged to 6.x until there is more testing.
Thanks to Doug Ambrosko, LSI, Dell, and Yahoo for contributing towards
this.

LSI for investigating and fixing these problems.

- Introduce the amr_io_lock to control access to command queues, bio queues,
and the hardware.
- Eliminate the taskqueue and do all completion processing in the ithread.
- Assign a static slot number to each command instead of doing a linear
search for free slots each time a command is needed.
- Modify the interrupt handler to more closely match what Linux does, for
safety.
properly support bounce buffers and resource shortages. This allows the
driver to work properly and reliably with more than 4GB of RAM. Of the
three data paths that exist in the driver, (block, CAM, ioctl), the ioctl
path has not been well tested with these changes due to difficulty with
finding an application that uses it that actually works.

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing

As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove

Fix - polling was implemented incorrectly for
adapter enquiry and adapter flush.
(2) Problem: PANIC when unloading driver

Fix - device nodes are not destroyed for amr0,

(3) Problem: PANIC from loading driver when

Fix - put #idef freebsd version < 500000 for

(4) Problem: warnings in driver when compiling
with DAMR_DEBUG param enabled in Makefile
Fix - fix the warnings so driver can compile
when -Werror is present in Makefile.
