Handle cases where dma function pointers may be NULL, and where
the max_iosize can't be derived from a DMA data structure. For
the latter, revert to the prior behaviour of using DFLTPHYS for
the max i/o size when there is no other data.

This avoids calling busdma in the request processing path which caused a traumatic performance degradation.
Allocation has be postponed to after we know how many devices we possible can have on portmulitpliers to save some space.
The problem is that the PM support is part of a much larger WIP here, but due to popular demand I decided to get some of it imported.
Also I forgot the mention:

Support is working on the Silicon Image SiI3124/3132.
Support is working on some AHCI chips but far from all.
Remember this is WIP, so test reports and (constructive) suggestions are welcome!
for a configurable number of seconds, spin the disk down. Spin it back
up on the next request.
Notice that the timeout is only armed by a request, so to spin down a
disk you may have to do:
atacontrol spindown ad10 5
dd if=/dev/ad10 of=/dev/null count=1
To disable spindown, set timeout to zero:
atacontrol spindown ad10 0
In order to debug any trouble caused, this code is somewhat noisy on the
console.
Enabling spindown on a disk containing / or /var/log/messages is not
going to do anything sensible.
Spinning a disk up and down all the time will wear it out, use sensibly.

set, announce BIO_DELETE capability and issue ATA_CFA_ERASE when we get one.
Once we issue more BIO_DELETE, this will improve lifetime, and
possibly write speed of Flash based devices which have usable flash
adaptation layers.
For now, about the only usage is the newfs(1) -E flag.

This workaround the problem in Parallels/VMWare where the emulated drivers are
slower, especially with ATA_FLUSHCACHE. The problem appears much more
frequently with ZFS which use it a lot more.

of geometry. However, some platforms have a more complicated mapping
of the firmware values to the actual values. pc98 is the only
platform that currently does this. This mapping is necessary for
large disks connected to pc98 boxes, as the firmware labels require do
special hacks to the actual geometry for interoperability. We cannot
do this all in the geom layer because of initialization issues (geom
looks for an already initialized pc98 label, but we need the geometry
information prior to initialization, classic chicken and egg problem).
We pass the disk and the device_t to this function because the
geometry mapping depends on what kind of controller is used.
This hook allows platforms that want to override things to do so, and
has 0 overhead on all other platforms. These patches have been in use
locally for a long time, and received good feedback from the pc98
community and sos@ at various times during their development.

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.
Dont try to enable read/write caching on devices that doesn't support it,
this reduces the noise from ATA on flash devices and the like.

This allows to attach to the children (ATA devices) even without a
driver being attached. This allows atapi-cam to do its work both
with and without the pure ATAPI driver being present.
ATA patches by /me
ATAPI-cam pathes by Thomas
o ATA is now fully newbus'd and split into modules.
This means that on a modern system you just load "atapci and ata"
to get the base support, and then one or more of the device
subdrivers "atadisk atapicd atapifd atapist ataraid".
All can be loaded/unloaded anytime, but for obvious reasons you
dont want to unload atadisk when you have mounted filesystems.
o The device identify part of the probe has been rewritten to fix
the problems with odd devices the old had, and to try to remove
so of the long delays some HW could provoke. Also probing is done
without the need for interrupts, making earlier probing possible.
o SATA devices can be hot inserted/removed and devices will be created/
removed in /dev accordingly.
NOTE: only supported on controllers that has this feature:
Promise and Silicon Image for now.
On other controllers the usual atacontrol detach/attach dance is
still needed.
o Support for "atomic" composite ATA requests used for RAID.
o ATA RAID support has been rewritten and and now supports these
metadata formats:
"Adaptec HostRAID"
"Highpoint V2 RocketRAID"
"Highpoint V3 RocketRAID"
"Intel MatrixRAID"
"Integrated Technology Express"
"LSILogic V2 MegaRAID"
"LSILogic V3 MegaRAID"
"Promise FastTrak"
"Silicon Image Medley"
"FreeBSD PseudoRAID"
o Update the ioctl API to match new RAID levels etc.
o Update atacontrol to know about the new RAID levels etc
NOTE: you need to recompile atacontrol with the new sys/ata.h,
make world will take care of that.
NOTE2: that rebuild is done differently from the old system as
the rebuild is now done piggybacked on read requests to the
array, so atacontrol simply starts a background "dd" to rebuild
the array.
o The reinit code has been worked over to be much more robust.
o The timeout code has been overhauled for races.
o Support of new chipsets.
o Lots of fixes for bugs found while doing the modulerization and
reviewing the old code.
Missing or changed features from current ATA:
o atapi-cd no longer has support for ATAPI changers. Todays its
much cheaper and alot faster to copy those CD images to disk
and serve them from there. Besides they dont seem to be made
anymore, maybe for that exact reason.
o ATA RAID can only read metadata from all the above metadata formats,
not write all of them (Promise and Highpoint V2 so far). This means
that arrays can be picked up from the BIOS, but they cannot be
created from FreeBSD. There is more to it than just the missing
write metadata support, those formats are not unique to a given
controller like Promise and Highpoint formats, instead they exist
for several types, and even worse, some controllers can have
different formats and its impossible to tell which one.
The outcome is that we cannot reliably create the metadata of those
formats and be sure the controller BIOS will understand it.
However write support is needed to update/fail/rebuild the arrays
properly so it sits fairly high on the TODO list.
o So far atapicam is not supported with these changes. When/if this
will change is up to the maintainer of atapi-cam so go there for
questions.

This also adds support for bigger disks on the controller I have access to,
and maybe others if I understood the adhoc methods used on those.
Those with more PC98 bigdrive controllers it is hereby invited to add/fix
support for those in geom_pc98.c and not using #ifdef PC98 all over the place.
mutexes instead.
This closes the last (known) race issues in ATA which should fix
the various hangs etc seen on heavy loaded systems.
Change from using timeout functions to using callout functions in
the timeout code. This together with above closes the race that could
happen if timeout and device interrupt occured simultaniously.
Also fix the possible recursion in ata_reinit() on very dodgy
devices that could take us down in the probe.
controllers (PDC203** PDC206**).
This also adds preliminary support for the Promise SX4/SX4000 but *only*
as a "normal" Promise ATA controller (ATA RAID's are supported though
but only RAID0, RAID1 and RAID0+1).
This cuts off yet another 5-8% of the command overhead on promise controllers,
making them the fastest we have ever had support for.
Work is now continuing to add support for this in ATA RAID, to accellerate
ATA RAID quite a bit on these controllers, and especially the SX4/SX4000
series as they have quite a few tricks in there..
This commit also adds a few fixes to the SATA code needed for proper support.
Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this
gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device
were not immediately disappearing.
Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned
by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create()
is called.
Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device
drivers.
Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements
have been carried out at the same time:
The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to
DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT
A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect,
report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future.
Manual page update to follow shortly.
instead of taskqueue_swi. This shaves from 1 to 10% of the overhead.
Overhaul the locking once more, there was a few possible races that
are now closed.
This gives +10% performance on simple tests, so definitly worth it.
A few percent more could be had by not using M_ZERO'd alloc's, but
we then need to clear fields all over the place to be safe, and
that was deemed not worth the trouble (and it makes life dangerous).
of the leftovers from the old version that really doesn't work anymore.
Add a reset function for host-end of the ATA channel. This is needed
for the SiI3112 in order to whack it back to reality if a device
locks up the SATA interface (thereby preventing that we can reset the
device). The result is that ATA now recovers from the timeouts that
happens with the SiI3112A and more or less all disks based on old
PATA electronics with a Marvell PATA->SATA converter. This includes
lots of the popular SATA dongles and the WDC Raptor disks..
Add a sysctl declaration for hw.ata.atapi_dma, which had gone MIA (though
setting it in loader.conf still worked, it was not visible at runtime)
