to kproc_xxx as they actually make whole processes.
Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.
I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.
aac_alloc_sync_fib(). aac_alloc_sync_fib() will assert that the I/O locks
are held. This fixes a panic on system boot up when the aac(4) device's
bus_generic_attach() routine is called.

do not support the GETINFO immediate command, unlike just about every other
variant of the hardware. Also document some magic values and fix some minor
nearby whitespace.

the modified interface that they use. Changes include:
- Register a different interrupt handler for the new interface. This one is
INTR_MPSAFE, not INTR_FAST, and directly processes completions and AIFs.
- Add an event registration and callback mechanism for the ioctl and CAM
modules can know when a resource shortage clears. This condition was
previously fatal in CAM due to programming oversights.
- Fix locking to play better with newbus.
- Provide access methods for talking to cards with the NEWCOMM interface.
- Fix up the CAM module to be better suited for dealing with newer firmware
on the PERC Si/Di series that requires talking to plain SCSI via aac.
- Add a whole slew of new PCI Id's.
Thanks to Adaptec for providing an initial version of this work and for
answering countless questions about it. There are still some rough edges in
this, but it works well enough to commit and test for now.

risky because the "current time" is supposed to be fed to the card during
initialization, and the current time is supposed to be put into each command
that is sent to the card. Hopefully either the card doesn't actually care
about the timestamps, or it doesn't care about the absolute values so long
and the relative values are consistent. Not an MFC candidate until more
thorough testing can be done.
the firmware status register on the card to see if the firmware is still
running. There is no way to recover from this, but at least it can give
a hint as whether the car has crashed (which happens all too often).

protect the registers so it was trivially possible for a sync command and
i/o command to fight each other and confuse the controller. Make the
sync fib alloc/release functions inline and remove the somewhat worthless
AAC_SYNC_LOCK_FORCE flag. Thanks to Adil Katchi for helping me to track
this down in RELENG_4.
every iteration of aac_startio(). This ensures that a command that is
deferred for lack of resources doesn't immediately get retried in the
aac_startio() loop. This avoids an almost certain livelock.
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
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
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.
on the card, unmap it first. This allows it to be picked up properly when
the queue gets kicked again. This was the root problem for the lost command
(i.e. stuck in getblk/vinvalb) problem. While here, panic if commands don't
map correctly instead of just silently ignoring the problem and dropping
command. Also slow down the dynamic allocation of new commands.
It should be safe to go back into the aac waters. Thanks to everyone who
suffered through this and provided good feedback.
edge cases in the loop.
- Try to grab a command before dequeueing the bio from the bioq. The old
behaviour of requeuing deferred bios to the end of the bioq is arguably
wrong. This should be fixed in the future to check the bioq head without
automatically dequeueing the bio.
interrupt handler so that no locks are needed, and schedules the
command completion routine with a taskqueue_fast. This also corrects the
locking in the command thread and removes the need for operation flags.
Simple load tests show that this is now considerably faster than FreeBSD 4.x
in the SMP case when multiple i/o tasks are running.
thread being waken up. The thread waken up can run at a priority as
high as after tsleep().
- Replace selwakeup()s with selwakeuppri()s and pass appropriate
priorities.
- Add cv_broadcastpri() which raises the priority of the broadcast
threads. Used by selwakeuppri() if collision occurs.

- Correct the logic for the AIF array index pointers so that correct slot is

a problem for command responses since we rarely ever filled the queue.
However, adapter-initiated commands have a much smaller queue and could
tickle this bug. It's possible that this might fix the recently reported
problems with the aac-2120s, though I haven't been able to reproduce the
problem locally.
