mpt.h:
Add support for reading extended configuration pages.
mpt_cam.c:
Do a top level topology scan on the SAS controller. If any SATA
device are discovered in this scan, send a passthrough FIS to set
the write cache. This is controllable through the following
tunable at boot:
hw.mpt.enable_sata_wc:
-1 = Do not configure, use the controller default
0 = Disable the write cache
1 = Enable the write cache
The default is -1. This tunable is just a hack and may be
deprecated in the future.
Turning on the write cache alleviates the write performance problems with
SATA that many people have observed. It is not recommend for those who
value data reliability! I cannot stress this strongly enough. However,
it is useful in certain circumstances, and it brings the performence in line
with what a generic SATA controller running under the FreeBSD ATA driver
provides (and the ATA driver has had the WC enabled by default for years).
Things can get ugly without it due to uninitialized class. RELENG_6 need
a simmilar, but different treatment as well.
err.. perhaps we should teach devclass_get_maxunit() to return -1 ?

o If we don't have a filter, also check to make sure the card is there before
calling the scheduled ISR. This is necessary to help old drivers whose
ISRs can't cope with being called with the hardware missing, which sadly
still exist in the tree. This is the main reason why we have an extra
layer of indirection for cardbus interrupts.
o If the card is no longer present, mark the interrupt as 'handled' rather
than 'stray' because this accounts for why the interrupt happened. Stray
isn't all bad, since there are other filters that would claim it...
o Fix some comments
+ Add comment about why we check for CARD_OK and touch the hardware in both
the filter and ISR.
+ add a note about why we don't care about Giant
+ also note that giant can't be taken out in a filter...
+ Some minor formatting nits on very long comments.
While in the suspend path, this means the idle thread will just return
immediately rather than trying to enter C1-n. This helps in the case where
the chipset is powered down before the rest of the system and reads from
the cpu sleep registers begin returning immediately, causing the logic that
catches bad C2/C3 behavior to kick in. Observed on my Panasonic Y4.

The wpa man pages were moved to section 8 in June 2005.
The clean_environment() function was removed from libutil in February
2004, so its man page is well overdue for removal.

1.50 to help out with the GCC 2 to GCC 3 transition and it became
obsolete when C flags compatible with GCC 3.x became the default.
With GCC 4 in the tree this variable (i.e. GCC3) is beyond bogus
because it causes confusion when looking for the newly introduced
WITH_GCC3 option that helps the GCC 3 -> GCC 4 bump.
(j/i) was being used and it was being incremented, not decremented as before.
Factor out this code into a common function and call it from both the common
and per-CPU case.

The global lock is a memory region shared with the BIOS and thus
has some strange behavior like the fact that the sleep is 1 ms max.
We use standard mutexes to synchronize with the SCI so acquiring
the global lock after locking the mutex resulted in a witness
warning.
To deal with this for now, acquire the global lock before all other
locks, similar to Giant. This should fix the witness "sleeping
with mutex held" issue on boot that occurred after the last ACPI-CA
import. In the future, we hope to move to the new mutex interface
in ACPI-CA instead of the pseudo-semaphore version we have now.
