This (I believe) is the cause of the XFree86 startup and/or mptable(8)
panics when programs were reading from /dev/mem at non-page-aligned
offsets. The offsets were being converted into random page flags in the
page tables. :-( (including PG_PS = 4MB page size)
Make the error recovery code a little more obvious.
Inform the user if UDMA66 mode couldn't be selected due to a
non ATA66 compliant 80pin cable.
Minor cosmetics.
with the new binutils. Now that we have a decent assembler, all the old
m4 macros are no longer needed. Instead, straight assembly can be used
since as(1) now understands 16-bit addressing, branches, etc. Also,
several bugs have been fixed in as(1), allowing boot0.s to be further
cleaned up.
CAPACITY operation. SCSI-3 mandates this to be 2048, but some older
drives like my old Plasmon CD-R report weird numbers between 2048 and
up to 2352 bytes depending on the mode of the last track etc. This in
turn confuses stuff like the slice code since it refuses to work with
devices that do not have a blocksize which is a multiple of 512 bytes.

libcam/Makefile: Add scsi_da.c to libcam for the new
scsi_format_unit() function.
camcontrol.8: Update the man page for the new format
functionality, and take out the examples section
describing how to do it with 'camcontrol cmd'.
camcontrol.c: New format functionality. Note that unlike the
rest of the camcontrol subcommands, this one is
interactive by default. Because of the potential
destructiveness of the format command, I thought
it necessary to get confirmation from the user
before spamming a disk. You can disable the
interactive behavior, and the status meter with
command line arguments.
scsi_da.c: Add the new scsi_format_unit() cdb building
function and use #ifdef _KERNEL to make this file
compile in both the kernel and userland. The
format unit function is currently only defined in
the non-kernel case, because nothing in the kernel
is using it. If that changes, it should be
un-ifdefed and compiled in both cases.
scsi_da.h: New function declaration, CDB structure and format
data structures.
Thanks to Nick Hibma for providing some valuable input on these changes.
