1. Implement a large set of ioctl shims so that the Linux management apps
from LSI will work. This includes infrastructure to support adding, deleting
and rescanning arrays at runtime. This is based on work from Doug Ambrosko,
heavily augmented by LSI and Yahoo.
2. Implement full 64-bit DMA support. Systems with more than 4GB of RAM
can now operate without the cost of bounce buffers. Cards that cannot do
64-bit DMA will automatically revert to using bounce buffers. This option
can be forced off by setting the 'hw.amr.force_sg32" tunable in the loader.
It should only be turned off for debugging purposes. This work was sponsored
by Yahoo.
3. Streamline the command delivery and interrupt handler paths after
much discussion with Dell and LSI. The logic now closely matches the
intended design, making it both more robust and much faster. Certain
i/o failures under heavy load should be fixed with this.
4. Optimize the locking. In the interrupt handler, the card can be checked
for completed commands without any locks held, due to the handler being
implicitely serialized and there being no need to look at any shared data.
Only grab the lock to return the command structure to the free pool. A
small optimization can still be made to collect all of the completions
together and then free them together under a single lock.
Items 3 and 4 significantly increase the performance of the driver. On an
LSI 320-2X card, transactions per second went from 13,000 to 31,000 in my
testing with these changes. However, these changes are still fairly
experimental and shouldn't be merged to 6.x until there is more testing.
Thanks to Doug Ambrosko, LSI, Dell, and Yahoo for contributing towards
this.
- Introduce the amr_io_lock to control access to command queues, bio queues,
and the hardware.
- Eliminate the taskqueue and do all completion processing in the ithread.
- Assign a static slot number to each command instead of doing a linear
search for free slots each time a command is needed.
- Modify the interrupt handler to more closely match what Linux does, for
safety.
properly support bounce buffers and resource shortages. This allows the
driver to work properly and reliably with more than 4GB of RAM. Of the
three data paths that exist in the driver, (block, CAM, ioctl), the ioctl
path has not been well tested with these changes due to difficulty with
finding an application that uses it that actually works.

Devices below may experience a change in geometry.
* Due to a bug, aic(4) never used extended geometry. Changes all drives
>1G to now use extended translation.
* sbp(4) drives exactly 1 GB in size now no longer use extended geometry.
* umass(4) drives exactly 1 GB in size now no longer use extended geometry.
For all other controllers in this commit, this should be a no-op.

Retain the mistake of not updating the devstat API for now.
Spell bioq_disksort() consistently with the remaining bioq_*().
#include <geom/geom_disk.h> where this is more appropriate.
in geom_disk.c.
As a side effect this makes a lot of #include <sys/devicestat.h>
lines not needed and some biofinish() calls can be reduced to
biodone() again.
as module. This also fix's issue kern/45713.
Fix - polling was implemented incorrectly for
adapter enquiry and adapter flush.
(2) Problem: PANIC when unloading driver
as module.
Fix - device nodes are not destroyed for amr0,
and amrd* when driver is unloaded
(3) Problem: PANIC from loading driver when
3ware adapter present, error message "Warning
"amrd is usurping twed's bmaj"
Fix - put #idef freebsd version < 500000 for
bmaj -1 -> amrd_cdevsw
(4) Problem: warnings in driver when compiling
with DAMR_DEBUG param enabled in Makefile
Fix - fix the warnings so driver can compile
when -Werror is present in Makefile.

- New support for 40LD firmware found in Series 475 and 471 adapters.
- Better support for 8LD firmware adapters
- Ioctl passthrough interface for userland utilities.
- Improved error handling and queueing.
- Several bugfixes (including the 'still open' shutdown bug and
closing some small race conditions).
- Zone-style command allocator, reducing memory wasted under heavy
load conditions.
- CAM interface (disabled and not fully working) for SCSI passthrough
access to non-disk devices
Thanks to AMI for supplying a pile of new adapters and various other
help in making this happen.
