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.
be sure to increment the refcount of the argument so it is not
prematurely deleted. This is a workaround and may appear in a different
form in ACPI-CA. This fixes battery evaluation on Thinkpads that was
broken by fixing the Dell battery state.

o support for 5112 and 2112 radios on 5212-based products
o revised interface for ah_procRxDesc needed to handle a race
condition created with the use of self-linked rx descriptors
o support for setting the MAC address
o remove some unused methods from the public API
o revised diagnostic API (replace dump* methods with getDiagState)
o const'ify set key cache method parameters
o support for optional 32khz sleep clock
o implement ah_setSlotTime for 5211 parts
o ANI improvements for 5212 parts

delete of objects. Also revert our temporary workaround in dsmthdat.c
that always copied objects. This is the correct fix for errors
evaluating _BST (and GBST) on IBM Thinkpads where an argument (Arg3)
was returned to the caller and the object was freed while still in use.
This will be in a future ACPI-CA dist.

be imported after 5.2R.

This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo

AML often found in Toshiba laptops. These errors were allowed by
the Microsoft ASL compiler and interpreter. This will NOT be imported
by ACPI-CA so make the change on our local branch. File was already off
