When performing a firmware upgrade via atacontrol[1] the subsequent
command may time out producing the error message above. When this
happens the callout could still be active, and the system would then
panic due to a destroyed semaphore.
Instead, ensure that the callout is done first, via callout_drain.
Note that this fix applies to the "old" ata(4) and so isn't applicable
to the default configuration in HEAD. It is still applicable to
stable/8.

Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.
Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial
and is not really required by PCI ATA BM specification or hardware.

- Remove most of direct relations between ATA(4) peripherial and controller
levels. It makes logic more transparent and is a mandatory step to wrap
ATA(4) controller level into ATA-native CAM SIM.
- Tune AHCI and SATA2 SiI drivers memory allocation a bit to allow bigger
I/O transaction sizes without additional cost.
- Generate fake channel interrupts even if channel busy with previous
request to let it finish. Without this, dumping requests were just queued
and never processed.
- Drop pre-dump requests queue on dumping. ATA code, working in dumping
(interruptless) mode, unable to handle long request queue. Actually, to get
coherent dump we anyway should do as few unrelated actions as possible.

state as it was before me, but fixes series of new bugs reported by some
people.
Unconditional queueing of ata_completed() calls can lead to deadlock if
due to timeout ata_reinit() was called at the same thread by previous
ata_completed(). Calling of ata_identify() on ata_reinit() in current
implementation opens numerous races and deadlocks.
Problems I was touching here are still exist and should be addresed, but
probably in different way.
kernel dumping case.
ata_completed() may initiate ata_reinit() on error, that may lead to drives
attach or detach. Attach and detach are sending requests to drives and sleep
waiting for results. But ata_finish() can be called directly from
interrupt handler where sleeping is prohibited, so we must break this chain
somewhere. This place seems to fit best.
expected in acd_fixate().
This should fix various problems folks are having with 'burncd' reporting
"burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCFIXATE): Input/output error" during the fixate phase
when "fixate" is issued together with the "data" command.

This avoids calling busdma in the request processing path which caused a traumatic performance degradation.
Allocation has be postponed to after we know how many devices we possible can have on portmulitpliers to save some space.
The problem is that the PM support is part of a much larger WIP here, but due to popular demand I decided to get some of it imported.
Also I forgot the mention:
HW sponsored by: Vitsch Electronics / VEHosting
Support is working on the Silicon Image SiI3124/3132.
Support is working on some AHCI chips but far from all.
Remember this is WIP, so test reports and (constructive) suggestions are welcome!
ATAPI request, do not clear the ATA_R_DEBUG flag. This allows a request
marked as requiring debug traces to produce these traces also during
the completion of the autosense processing.

to call back for completition and something else is holding the taskqueue
waiting for ATA to return data.
This should clear up the "semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!"
in most situations, and log "taskqueue timeout - completing request directly"
instead, with a delayed "WARNING - freeing taskqueue zombie request" when
the taskqueue finally calls us back with the now stale request.
(It would have been nice if there was a way to remove a scheduled item from
a taskqueue, but that is not currently implemented in the kernel).
A real fix for this is in the works but wont make it to 6.1RELEASE

This also removes the warning timeout on the taskqueues stalling as
I'm tired of getting ATA error reports for problems in other parts ;)
Misc cosmetic and comment cleanups now we are here.
