The atapi subsystem has gotten better error handeling and timeouts,
it also tries a REQUEST SENSE command when devices returns errors,
to give a little more info as to what went wrong. It might be a
little verbose for now, but I'm interested in as much feedback on
errors as possible, especially timeouts, as I'm a bit in doubt if
I've chosen resonable default values everywhere.
The disk driver has been changed a bit to prepare for tagged queing,
which is next on my list.
The disk driver has grown a dump routine, I got one implementation
from Darrell Anderson <anderson@cs.duke.edu> which also did
partial dumps (usefull on big memory machines) I left out the
partial stuff for now, and changed the rest alot to fit into the new
ad_request framework.
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!

discovered by Hidetoshi Shimokawa. Large programs need multiple
GOTs. The lazy binding stub in the PLT can be reached from any of
these GOTs, but the dynamic linker only has enough information to
fix up the first GOT entry. Thus calls through the other GOTs went
through the time-consuming lazy binding process on every call.
This fix rewrites the PLT entries themselves to bypass the lazy
binding.
Tested by Hidetoshi Shimokawa and Steve Price.

GAMEGRP change the group with which games are installed
also organize the binary section into alphebetical order some what..

This change should have been committed together with syscons.c rev 1.308.

If the drive goes down, queue a close to the daemon. In many cases
this function gets called in process context, so it could do it
directly, but it's more trouble finding out where we came from than
getting the daemon to do it.
Don't bzero the buffer structure, it's been done already by

Build up a correct buffer header, don't steal linkages from system

o getopt returns -1 rather than EOF on errors
o getopt returns '?' for characters it doesn't know about, so
don't include them in the getopt options string.
1. Rise is recognized in identdcpu.c.
2. The TSC is not written to. A workaround for the CPU bug is being
applied to clock.c (the bug being that the mP6 has TSC enabled
in its CPUID-capabilities, but it only supports reading it. If we
try to write to it (MSR 16), a GPF occurs.) The new behavior is that
FreeBSD will _not_ zero the TSC. Instead, we do a bit of 64-bit
arithmetic.
