freebsd kernel with SKQ

Vinod Kashyap f0c1dee27f The latest release of the FreeBSD driver (twa) for
3ware's 9xxx series controllers.  This corresponds to
the 9.2 release (for FreeBSD 5.2.1) on the 3ware website.

Highlights of this release are:

1. The driver has been re-architected to use a "Common Layer"
    (all tw_cl* files), which is a consolidation of all OS-independent
    parts of the driver.  The FreeBSD OS specific portions of the
    driver go into an "OS Layer" (all tw_osl* files).
    This re-architecture is to achieve better maintainability, consistency
    of behavior across OS's, and better portability to new OS's (drivers
    for new OS's can be written by just adding an OS Layer that's specific
    to the OS, by complying to a "Common Layer Programming Interface" API.

2. The driver takes advantage of multiple processors.

3. The driver has a new firmware image bundled, the new features of which
   include Online Capacity Expansion and multi-lun support, among others.
   More details about 3ware's 9.2 release can be found here:
   http://www.3ware.com/download/Escalade9000Series/9.2/9.2_Release_Notes_Web.pdf

Since the Common Layer is used across OS's, the FreeBSD specific include
path for header files (/sys/dev/twa) is not part of the #include pre-processor
directive in any of the source files.  For being able to integrate twa into
the kernel despite this, Makefile.<arch> has been changed to add the include
path to CFLAGS.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
