preparation for tsunami support. Previous chipsets' direct-mapped DMA
mask was always 1024*1024*1024. The Tsunami chipset needs it to be
2*1024*1024*1024
These changes should not affect the i386 port

Fixed problems:
LS120 drives currupted data.
The workaround for drives not supporting upto 64K transfers
has been reworked. It works now both on LS120 & ZIP drives.
ISA only configs wont compile.
Fixed.
The ATA driver wont share interrupts.
Fixed.
The "unwanted interrupt" warning gave wrong controller.
Another lun<>unit messup from the newbus integration.
Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!

i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
Approved by: core
Fixed problems:
Promise controllers was not always set up correctly.
Parantheses are a good thing, fixed.
Some older CDROM's could hang the probe.
Proberly wait for the drive to catch its breath after IDENTIFY.
Some CD writers fails because they dont support rezero.
Rearranged the code to not use rezero.
Warnings now that we use EGCS.
Fixed.
Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.
DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.
The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.
Fixed problems:
All known hang problems should be solved
The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
the reports I have lying around (I hope).
Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.
As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
