firmware loading bugs.
Target mode support has received some serious attention to make it
more usable and stable.
Some backward compatible additions to CAM have been made that make
target mode async events easier to deal with have also been put
into place.
Further refinement and better support for NP-IV (N-port Virtualization)
is now in place.
Code for release prior to RELENG_7 has been stripped away for code clarity.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

a serial number, fall through to the next case so that initial negotiation
still happens. Without this, devices were showing up with only 1 available
tag opening, leading to observations of very poor I/O performance.
This should fix problems reported with VMWare Fusion and ESX. Early
generation MPT-SAS controllers with SATA disks might also be affected.
HP CISS controllers are also likely affected, as are many other
pseudo-scsi disk subsystems.

a temporary solution until we invent something better.

This fixes problems with discovering some USB devices that are very slow to
respond during initialisation.
When a USB device is inserted, CAM performs the sequence:
1) INQUIRY
2) INQUIRY (second time with other parameters)
3) TEST UNIT READY
4) READ CAPACITY
Before this change CAM didn't check if TEST UNIT READY was successful and went
on blindly to the next state and sent READ CAPACITY. If the device was still
not ready by then, CAM ended with error message. This patch adds checking for the
status of TEST UNIT READY command and retrying up to 10 times with 0.5 sec
interval.

does - in DragonFly, it's cam_sim_release() what actually frees the
SIM; cam_sim_free does nothing more than calling cam_sim_release().
Here, we drain in cam_sim_free, waiting for refcount to drop to zero.
We cannot do the same think DragonFly does, because after cam_sim_free
returns, client would destroy the sim->mtx, and CAM would trip over
an initialized mutex.

to actually use it would panic on mtx operation, as dead_sim doesn't
have a proper mutex. Even if it had a properly initialized mutex,
it wouldn't have properly locked and owned one.

device supports retrieving a serial number. Instead, first query the
list of VPD pages it does support, and only query the serial number if
it's supported, else silently move on. This eliminates a lot of noise
during verbose booting, and will likely eliminate the need for most
NOSERIAL quirks.

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.
now takes a device_t to be the parent of the bus that is being created.
Most SIMs have been updated with a reasonable argument, but a few exceptions
just pass NULL for now. This argument isn't used yet and the newbus
integration likely won't be ready until after 7.0-RELEASE.
sysctl_handle_int is not sizeof the int type you want to export.
The type must always be an int or an unsigned int.
Remove the instances where a sizeof(variable) is passed to stop
people accidently cut and pasting these examples.
In a few places this was sysctl_handle_int was being used on 64 bit
types, which would truncate the value to be exported. In these
cases use sysctl_handle_quad to export them and change the format
to Q so that sysctl(1) can still print them.

SIM. Drivers that are not yet MPSAFE register Giant and operate as
usual. RIght now, no drivers are MPSAFE, though a few will be changed
in the coming week as this work settles down.
The driver API has changed, so all CAM drivers will need to be recompiled.
The userland API has not changed, so tools like camcontrol do not need to
be recompiled.
rescan requests. The purpose of this is to allow a SIM

caller.
There are probably better ways to accomplish this, but
it's a very small change that helps solve a number of
problems.
