are pending I/O transactions. It is not clear that is works 100% of
the time under SMP, but since the bt_cmds() that are sent after other
CPUs are started are not critical, the driver will function until I
can figure out why this is the case.
Oh, I forgot to mention: this driver also works on FreeBSD/alpha (big
thanks to Andrew Gallatin). And there is a 2.2.x version available for
those who stubbornly refuse to upgrade.
Networks Tigon 1 and Tigon 2 chipsets. There are a _lot_ of OEM'ed
gigabit ethernet adapters out there which use the Alteon chipset so
this driver covers a fair amount of hardware. I know that it works with
the Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3c985 and Netgear GA620, however it should also
work with the DEC/Compaq EtherWORKS 1000, Silicon Graphics Gigabit
ethernet board, NEC Gigabit Ethernet board and maybe even the IBM and
and Sun boards. The Netgear board is the cheapest (~$350US) but still
yields fairly good performance.
Support is provided for jumbo frames with all adapters (just set the
MTU to something larger than 1500 bytes), as well as hardware multicast
filtering and vlan tagging (in conjunction with the vlan support in
-current, which I should merge into -stable soon). There are some hooks
for checksum offload support, but they're turned off for now since
FreeBSD doesn't have an officially sanctioned way to support checksum
offloading (yet).
I have not added the 'device ti0' entry to GENERIC since the driver
with all the firmware compiled in is quite large, and it doesn't really
fit into the category of generic hardware.

all the LIP, PDB Changed, Loop UP/DOWN async events, mark fw state
as unknown as well as marking the need to do a getpdb on targets- after
a LIP for certain the f/w has to do PRLI/PLOGI for all targets again
and marking f/w state as unknown gives us a fighting chance to (start
to) hold up for that to complete.

Remove unused (and braindead) functions volume_index, plex_index,
sd_index and drive_index.
Add a flag VF_CREATED for volumes. VF_NEWBORN was being used in two
capacities, and they clashed, my Lord, they clashed.
find_object: restructure the search loop as a result of the change in
variable use.
Decrement object use count in the remove_<object> functions, not in
the free_<object> functions, which are often called with partially
initialized (and uncounted) objects.

Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.
DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.
The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.
Fixed problems:
All known hang problems should be solved
The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
the reports I have lying around (I hope).
Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.
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, agaiin you have been warned :)
But please tell me how it works for you!
Enjoy!
