problems. The card still works fine in TP mode.

Backtracing through syscall and interrupt frames still doesn't work
but it is relatively unimportant and more expensive to fix.

moved to the driver proper, so that <machine/si.h> can be #included by user
programs without needing to include stuff from /sys/i386/isa..
Various (now) redundant features removed, eg: the locks on IXANY and HWFLOW
as these are now done with the "initial" and "lock" termios devices.
Note that it still (for reasons unknown) appears to be masking data to
7-bit with ppp - hence the cleanup to support the debugging via 'sicontrol'
This was originally ported to BSDI by Andy Rutter <andy@acronym.co.uk>.
At the end of the day, this code has very little in common with Andy's
version, or the Specialix SYSV version. Essentially it has been gradually
and almost completely rewritten, with LOTS of advice and inspiration from
Bruce Evans. There are a couple of missing bits still, but they are minor.
The user-mode "sicontrol" program is in sad shape and will come in soon.
Transparent printing died a timely death.. Maybe later..
Jeremy Rolls @ Specialix (Development directory) has confirmed this is OK
to distribute, and Andy personally sent me his version that I started from.
Although this driver stood up to a nasty stress-test in this form, I am not
confident that there are no nasty bugs lurking.
People are welcome to try it, but dont go out and buy one just yet.. :-)
And *DONT* use it on a mission-critical machine... This is ALPHA QUALITY!

for return values. It just so happens that in the cases where it is likely
to fail, it is okay to change the M_NOWAIT to M_WAITOK -- and all will
be well. This problem was manfest as a panic very regularly on a 4MB
system right after bootup.
disksort is called at non-interrupt time and can be actively traversing
the list when that happens, there is a very small window of vulnerability.
Close it by protecting disksort with splbio().

to replace the very poor, original implementation of Scatter/Gather operations.
Use a bit (that was freed up with the rewrite above) in the SCB control byte
to designate commands that should allow disconnection. The kernel driver
makes this decision now instead of the sequencer since the sequencer can't
do the indexing very efficiently.
This commit drops the sequencer from 426 instructions to 390 most likely
freeing enough space to do a target mode implementation.
The first could occur because the original code would continue to reset
the SCSIID register while waiting for a selection. This could potentially
conflict with a reconnect since a successfull reconnect will also set the
SCSIID register. The fix is to use a separate wait loop after starting
a selection (as was done a few revisions ago).
The second probably never happens, but it was possible for a target to
reconnect while there was a pending SCB on the waiting list and not get
noticed. The fix was to remove a supurflous check of the scb waiting
list.
