ServeRAID 4 - 7 models right now. Support for older cards is possible, but
I don't have any hardware to experiment with.
Thanks to Jack Hammer at Adaptec for providing debugging hints.

significant clean up and optimizations:
- don't call bioq_disksort() on every command, the hardware will do that for
us.
- remove all of the complicated bio deferral code. bio's that can't be
serviced immediately can just wait on the bioq.
- Only reserve one command object for doing control commands to the card.
This simplifies a lot of code and significantly reduces the size of the
command struct.
- Allocate commands out of a slab instead of embedding them into the softc.
- Call the command action method directly instead of having ips_get_free_cmd()
call it indirectly.

disabled.
- Change the apm driver to match the acpi driver's behavior by checking to
see if the device is disabled in the identify routine instead of in the
probe routine. This way if the device is disabled it is never created.
Note that a few places (ips(4), Alpha SMP) used "disable" instead of
"disabled" for their hint names, and these hints must be changed to
"disabled". If this is a big problem, resource_disabled() can always be
changed to honor both names.
Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

so can leave stale data in the buffer and confuse the driver.
- enable the ability to set the 'disable' hint for the driver to keep it
from attaching. i.e. 'hw.ips.0.disable=1' will prevent the driver from
attaching.
- Only detach if attach suceeded.

series. This driver was generously developed and released by David
Jeffreys and Adaptec. I've updated it to work with 5.x and fixed a
few bugs.
