case to previous panic behavior.
I have a real fix that changes the sg dma tag allocation
to be limited to the under 4GB address space but would
prefer to have review before committing.
Bug fixes:
* Fixed "inquiry data fails comparion at DV1 step"
* Fixed bad range input in bus_alloc_resource for ADAPTER_TYPE_B
* Fixed arcmsr driver prevent arcsas support for Areca SAS HBA ARC13x0
Many thanks to Areca for continuing to support FreeBSD.

This version adds support for ARC1880; additionally this version fixed
an issue where all devices on a SAS port gets offlined when any device
failed on the port [1].
Many thanks to Areca for continuing to support FreeBSD.

This fixes the low "max device openings" count that has lead to poor
performance in FreeBSD 7.0 and 7.1.
Extra thanks goes to Mike Tancsa at Sentex for providing a debug system for
this.
After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

now takes a device_t to be the parent of the bus that is being created.
Most SIMs have been updated with a reasonable argument, but a few exceptions
just pass NULL for now. This argument isn't used yet and the newbus
integration likely won't be ready until after 7.0-RELEASE.
use to synchornize and protect all data objects that are used for that
SIM. Drivers that are not yet MPSAFE register Giant and operate as
usual. RIght now, no drivers are MPSAFE, though a few will be changed
in the coming week as this work settles down.
The driver API has changed, so all CAM drivers will need to be recompiled.
The userland API has not changed, so tools like camcontrol do not need to
be recompiled.
never correct as CAM has no real understanding of it, and will just immediately
retry the command. This leads to undesirable cycling of the camisr as well as
a high possibility for the command to exhaust its retries before the driver
can get around to servicing it.
The better fix, as demonstrated here, is to freeze the simq and mark the
command as needing to be tried. Then when driver can service the command,
the simq gets unfrozen. This is correct, and documented here to help reduce
the mystery. However, it also points out a shortcoming in CAM error handling
that makes writing drivers harder.

the CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE that has been in the tree for some years now.
This first step consists solely of adding to or correcting
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE pieces in the kernel source tree such
that a both a GENERIC (at least on i386) and a LINT build
with CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE as an option will compile correctly
and run (at least with some the h/w I have).
After a short settle time, the other pieces (making
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE the default and updating libcam
and camcontrol) will be brought in.
This will be an incompatible change in that the size of structures
related to XPT_PATH_INQ and XPT_{GET,SET}_TRAN_SETTINGS change
in both size and content. However, basic system operation and
basic system utilities work well enough with this change.
