Using pointer from the cdev directly is dangerous since we have no reference
on it, and it may change any time. That caused panic if device has gone.
While there, report capacity change only if it really changed.

Without clustering support we any way have only one group of permanently
active ports, but that gives us one more supported VMWare feature. ;)
Solaris' Comstar also reports it even when only one port is present.
devq_openings counter lost its meaning after allocation queues has gone.
held counter is still meaningful, but problematic to update due to separate
locking of CCB allocation and queuing.
To fix that replace devq_openings counter with allocated counter. held is
now calculated on request as difference between number of allocated, queued
and active CCBs.

It allows to bypass range checks between UNMAP and READ/WRITE commands,
which may introduce additional delays while waiting for UNMAP parameters.
READ and WRITE commands are always processed in safe order since their
range checks are almost free.
Before this change UNMAP completely blocked other I/Os while running.
Now it blocks only colliding ones, slowing down others only due to ZFS
locks collisions.

None of existing STEC devices need UNMAP or even support it well, having
many limitations and even hanging sometimes executing those commands.
New devices that may use UNMAP going to be released under HGST name.

kern.cam.ctl.iscsi.ping_timeout to 0. This fixes interoperability with
some initiators that don't properly support NOP-Ins, namely iPXE/gPXE.

At this moment it works only for files and ZVOLs in device mode since BIOs
have no respective respective cache control flags (DPO/FUA).

that's ATAPI specific. Instead, skip to PROBE_SET_MULTI instead for
non ATAPI protocols. The prior code incorrectly terminated the probe
with a break, rather than arranging for probedone to get called. This
caused panics or worse on some systems.
that's only mostly similar. Specifically word 78 bits are defined for
IDENTIFY DEVICE as
5 Supports Hardware Feature Control
while a IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE defines them as
5 Asynchronous notification supported
Therefore, only pay attention to bit 5 when we're talking to ATAPI
devices (we don't use the hardware feature control at this time).
Ignore it for ATA devices. Remove kludge that papered over this issue
for Samsung SATA SSDs, since Micron drives also have the bit set and
the error was caused by this bad interpretation of the spec (which is
quite easy to do, since bits aren't normally overlapping like this).
sizeof(struct scsi_inquiry_data) of 256 bytes combined with off-by-one
error in the changed code gave total INQUIRY data length above 255 bytes,
that was maximal INQUIRY length in SPC-2. While SPC-3 increased the
maximal length to 64K, at least sg3_utils are still confused by that.

This allows to avoid extra network traffic when copying files on NTFS iSCSI
disks within one storage host by drag'n'dropping them in Windows Explorer
of Windows 8/2012. It should also accelerate Hyper-V VM operations, etc.

left some of the decisions based on its counterpart, SA_CCB_BUFFER_IO
being random. As a result, propagation of the residual information
for the SPACE command was broken, so the number of filemarks
encountered during a SPACE operation was miscalculated. Consequently,
systems relying on properly tracked filemark counters (like Bacula)
fell apart.
The change also removes a switch/case in sadone() which r256843
degraded to a single remaining case label.

Unlike disk devices ZVOLs process all requests synchronously. That makes
impossible sending multiple requests to them from single thread. From the
other side ZVOLs have real d_read/d_write methods, which unlike d_strategy
can handle uio scatter/gather and have no strict I/O size limitations.
So, if ZVOL in "dev" mode is detected, use of d_read/d_write methods instead
of d_strategy allows to avoid pointless splitting of large requests into
MAXPHYS (128K) sized chunks.
