specifically SPI controllers now also work in big-endian
machines and some conversions relevant for FC and SAS
controllers as well as support for ILP32 machines which all
were omitted in previous attempts are now also implemented.
The IOCTL-interface is intentionally left (and where needed
actually changed) to be completely little-endian as otherwise
we would have to add conversion code for every possible
configuration page to mpt(4), which didn't seem the right
thing to do, neither did converting only half of the user-
interface to the native byte order.
This change was tested on amd64 (SAS+SPI), i386 (SAS) and
sparc64 (SAS+SPI). Due to lack of the necessary hardware
the target mode code is still left to be made endian-clean.

abstraction as the RAID and CAM modules, making it nearly impossible
for enough initialization to be done in time for the RAID module to
know whether to attach. On top of this, no reset was being done on
the controller on attach, in violation of the spec. Additionally,
the port enable step was being deferred to the end of the attach
process, long after it should have been done to ensure reliable
operation from the controller. Fix all of these with a few hacks
to force the "attach" and "enable" steps of the core module early
on, and ensure that a reset and port enable also happens early on.
In the future, the driver needs to be refactored to eliminate the
core module abstraction, clean up withe reset/enable steps, and
defer event messages until all of the modules are available to
recieve them.

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

-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).

There is no need to set a role any more. Some target mode resources
are allocated early on (ELS), but target command buffer allocation
is deferred until the first lun enable.
+ Fix some breakages I introduced with target mode in that some commands
are *repeating* commands. That is, the reply shows up but the command
isn't really done (we don't free it). We still need to take it off the
pending list because when we resubmit it, bad things then happen.
+ Fix more of the way that timed out commands and bus reset is done. The
actual TMF response code was being ignored.
+ For SPI, honor BIOS settings. This doesn't quite fix the problems we've
seen where we can't seem to (re)negotiate U320 on all drives but avoids
it instead by letting us honor the BIOS settings. I'm sure this is not
quite right and will have to change again soon.
There's something strange going on with async events. They seem
to be be treated differently for different Fusion implementations.
Some will really tell you when it's okay to free the request that
started them. Some won't. Very disconcerting.
This is particularily bad when the chip (FC in this case) tells you
in the reply that it's not a continuation reply, which means you
can free the request that its associated with. However, if you do
that, I've found that additional async event replies come back for
that message context after you freed it. Very Bad Things Happen.
Put in a reply register debounce. Warn about out of range context
indices. Use more MPILIB defines where possible. Replace bzero with
memset. Add tons more KASSERTS. Do a *lot* more request free list
auditting and serial number usages. Get rid of the warning about
the short IOC Facts Reply. Go back to 16 bits of context index.
Do a lot more target state auditting as well. Make a tag out
of not only the ioindex but the request index as well and worry
less about keeping a full serial number.

A) Fibre Channel Target Mode support mostly works
(SAS/SPI won't be too far behind). I'd say that
this probably works just about as well as isp(4)
does right now. Still, it and isp(4) and the whole
target mode stack need a bit of tightening.
B) The startup sequence has been changed so that
after all attaches are done, a set of enable functions
are called. The idea here is that the attaches do
whatever needs to be done *prior* to a port being
enabled and the enables do what need to be done for
enabling stuff for a port after it's been enabled.
This means that we also have events handled by their
proper handlers as we start up.
C) Conditional code that means that this driver goes
back all the way to RELENG_4 in terms of support.
D) Quite a lot of little nitty bug fixes- some discovered
by doing RELENG_4 support. We've been living under Giant
*waaaayyyyy* too long and it's made some of us (me) sloppy.
E) Some shutdown hook stuff that makes sure we don't blow
up during a reboot (like by the arrival of a new command
from an initiator).
There's been some testing and LINT checking, but not as
complete as would be liked. Regression testing with Fusion
RAID instances has not been possible. Caveat Emptor.

If mpt_reset is called to reinit things, and we succeed, make

system lockup after having to hard reset the chip. Also, if
we think that interrupts aren't function in mpt_cam_timeout,
for goodness sake, turn them on again.

Detailed Changes
================
mpt.c mpt_cam.c mpt_raid.c mpt_pci.c:
o Add support for personality modules. Each module exports
load, and unload module scope methods as well as probe, attach,
event, reset, shutdown, and detach per-device instance
methods
mpt.c mpt.h mpt_pci.c:
o The driver now associates a callback function (via an
index) with every transaction submitted to the controller.
This allows the main interrupt handler to absolve itself
of any knowledge of individual transaction/response types
by simply calling the callback function "registered" for
the transaction. We use a callback index instead of a
callback function pointer in each requests so we can
properly handle responses (e.g. event notifications)
that are not associated with a transaction. Personality
modules dynamically register their callbacks with the
driver core to receive the callback index to use for their
handlers.
o Move the interrupt handler into mpt.c. The ISR algorithm
is bus transport and OS independent and thus had no reason
to be in mpt_pci.c.
o Simplify configuration message reply handling by copying
reply frame data for the requester and storing completion
status in the original request structure.
o Add the mpt_complete_request_chain() helper method and use
it to implement reset handlers that must abort transactions.
o Keep track of all pending requests on the new
requests_pending_list in the softc.
o Add default handlers to mpt.c to handle generic event
notifications and controller reset activities. The event
handler code is largely the same as in the original driver.
The reset handler is new and terminates any pending transactions
with a status code indicating the controller needs to be
re-initialized.
o Add some endian support to the driver. A complete audit is
still required for this driver to have any hope of operating
in a big-endian environment.
o Use inttypes.h and __inline. Come closer to being style(9)
compliant.
o Remove extraneous use of typedefs.
o Convert request state from a strict enumeration to a series
of flags. This allows us to, for example, tag transactions
that have timed-out while retaining the state that the
transaction is still in-flight on the controller.
o Add mpt_wait_req() which allows a caller to poll or sleep
for the completion of a request. Use this to simplify
and factor code out from many initialization routines.
We also use this to sleep for task management request
completions in our CAM timeout handler.
mpt.c:
o Correct a bug in the event handler where request structures were
freed even if the request reply was marked as a continuation
reply. Continuation replies indicate that the controller still owns
the request and freeing these replies prematurely corrupted
controller state.
o Implement firmware upload and download. On controllers that do
not have dedicated NVRAM (as in the Sun v20/v40z), the firmware
image is downloaded to the controller by the system BIOS. This
image occupies precious controller RAM space until the host driver
fetches the image, reducing the number of concurrent I/Os the
controller can processes. The uploaded image is used to
re-program the controller during hard reset events since the
controller cannot fetch the firmware on its own. Implementing this
feature allows much higher queue depths when RAID volumes
are configured.
o Changed configuration page accessors to allow threads to sleep
rather than busy wait for completion.
o Removed hard coded data transfer sizes from configuration page
routines so that RAID configuration page processing is possible.
mpt_reg.h:
o Move controller register definitions into a separate file.
mpt.h:
o Re-arrange includes to allow inlined functions to be
defined in mpt.h.
o Add reply, event, and reset handler definitions.
o Add softc fields for handling timeout and controller
reset recovery.
mpt_cam.c:
o Move mpt_freebsd.c to mpt_cam.c. Move all core functionality,
such as event handling, into mpt.c leaving only CAM SCSI
support here.
o Revamp completion handler to provide correct CAM status for
all currently defined SCSI MPI message result codes.
o Register event and reset handlers with the MPT core. Modify
the event handler to notify CAM of bus reset events. The
controller reset handler will abort any transactions that
have timed out. All other pending CAM transactions are
correctly aborted by the core driver's reset handler.
o Allocate a single request up front to perform task management
operations. This guarantees that we can always perform a
TMF operation even when the controller is saturated with other
operations. The single request also serves as a perfect
mechanism of guaranteeing that only a single TMF is in flight
at a time - something that is required according to the MPT
Fusion documentation.
o Add a helper function for issuing task management requests
to the controller. This is used to abort individual requests
or perform a bus reset.
o Modify the CAM XPT_BUS_RESET ccb handler to wait for and
properly handle the status of the bus reset task management
frame used to reset the bus. The previous code assumed that
the reset request would always succeed.
o Add timeout recovery support. When a timeout occurs, the
timed-out request is added to a queue to be processed by
our recovery thread and the thread is woken up. The recovery
thread processes timed-out command serially, attempting first
to abort them and then falling back to a bus reset if an
abort fails.
o Add calls to mpt_reset() to reset the controller if any
handshake command, bus reset attempt or abort attempt
fails due to a timeout.
o Export a secondary "bus" to CAM that exposes all volume drive
members as pass-thru devices, allowing CAM to perform proper
speed negotiation to hidden devices.
o Add a CAM async event handler tracking the AC_FOUND_DEVICE event.
Use this to trigger calls to set the per-volume queue depth once
the volume is fully registered with CAM. This is required to avoid
hitting firmware limits on volume queue depth. Exceeding the
limit causes the firmware to hang.
mpt_cam.h:
o Add several helper functions for interfacing to CAM and
performing timeout recovery.
mpt_pci.c:
o Disable interrupts on the controller before registering and
enabling interrupt delivery to the OS. Otherwise we risk
receiving interrupts before the driver is ready to receive
them.
o Make use of compatibility macros that allow the driver to
be compiled under 4.x and 5.x.
mpt_raid.c:
o Add a per-controller instance RAID thread to perform settings
changes and query status (minimizes CPU busy wait loops).
o Use a shutdown handler to disable "Member Write Cache Enable"
(MWCE) setting for RAID arrays set to enable MWCE During Rebuild.
o Change reply handler function signature to allow handlers to defer
the deletion of reply frames. Use this to allow the event reply
handler to queue up events that need to be acked if no resources
are available to immediately ack an event. Queued events are
processed in mpt_free_request() where resources are freed. This
avoids a panic on resource shortage.
o Parse and print out RAID controller capabilities during driver probe.
o Define, allocate, and maintain RAID data structures for volumes,
hidden member physical disks and spare disks.
o Add dynamic sysctls for per-instance setting of the log level, array
resync rate, array member cache enable, and volume queue depth.
mpt_debug.c:
o Add mpt_lprt and mpt_lprtc for printing diagnostics conditioned on
a particular log level to aid in tracking down driver issues.
o Add mpt_decode_value() which parses the bits in an integer
value based on a parsing table (mask, value, name string, tuples).
mpilib/*:
o Update mpi library header files to latest distribution from LSI.

When reading a config page, zero out the entire request area- not just
