register instead of AAC_RX_FWSTATUS, as that is the way it's done in
Adaptec's vendor driver and in the Linux drivers. (The same applies
to aac_rkt_get_fwstatus as well.)
However, a concern has been raised about the compatibility of this
change and old hardware / firmware versions. In the absense of
specific information, revert to the original behaviour if the firmware
does not support the "New comm." interface. Users of old cards or
firmware haven't reported the problems that are potentially solved by
switching to OMR0.
- protect againtst recursions,
- add new devices detection using ata_identify().
Improve ata_identify():
- do not add duplicate device if device already exist.
Rework SATA hot-plug events handling. Instead of unsafe duplicate
implementation use common ata_reinit() to handle all state changes.
All together this gives quite stable and robust cold- and hot-plug operation,
invariant to false, lost and duplicate events.
[1] Add the support for the NARK controller which seems a variant of
the i960Rx.
[2] Split up memory regions and other resources in 2 different parts
as long as NARK uses them separately (it is not clear to me
why though as long as there are no more informations available
on this controller). Please note that in all the other cases,
the regions overlaps leaving the default behaviour for all the
other controllers.
[3] Implement a clock daemon responsible for maintain updated the
wall clock time of the controller (run any 30 minutes)*.

* Please note that originally, in the Adaptec driver, the clock daemon
is not implemented with callouts as in our in-tree driver.
ATA specification declares minimal reset time of 5us. SATA keeps it, but
requires devices to handle commands transmitted even one by one without
any gap.

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.
This is triggered only if BIOS configures ACPI_BITREG_BUS_MASTER_RLD
aka BRLD_EN_BM to 1.
Rationale:
1. we do not support C3 on PIIX4E
2. bus master activity need not break out of C2 state
3. because of CPU_QUIRK_NO_BM_CTRL quirk we may reset bus master
status which would result in immediate break out from C2
So if you have seen
cpu0: too many short sleeps, backing off to C1
with this chipset before you may want to try cx_lowest of C2 again.

This will permit channel drivers to properly shutdown port hardware on channel
detach and init it on attach.

o use phy type instead of channel attributes to identify 1/2 and 1/4-rate

o general cleanup of code including move phy constants to ah_internal.h
