'RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE'.

This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 5.3-RELEASE image.

Do the dreaded s/dev_t/struct cdev */

Bump __FreeBSD_version accordingly.

Spring cleanup of macros

This is a major rework of the ATA driver (ATAng)

2003-08-24T09:22:26+00:00

Restructure the way ATA/ATAPI commands are processed, use a common
ata_request structure for both. This centralises the way requests
are handled so locking is much easier to handle.

The driver is now layered much more cleanly to seperate the lowlevel
HW access so it can be tailored to specific controllers without touching
the upper layers. This is needed to support some of the newer
semi-intelligent ATA controllers showing up.

The top level drivers (disk, ATAPI devices) are more or less still
the same with just corrections to use the new interface.

Pull ATA out from under Gaint now that locking can be done in a sane way.

Add support for a the National Geode SC1100. Thanks to Soekris engineering
for sponsoring a Soekris 4801 to make this support.

Fixed alot of small bugs in the chipset code for various chips now
we are around in that corner anyways.

Allocate the devstat structure with devstat_new_entry().

First round off updates/fixes to the ATA driver.

2003-02-20T20:02:32+00:00

This moves all chipset specific code to a new file 'ata-chipset.c'.
Extensive use of tables and pointers to avoid having the same switch
on chipset type in several places, and to allow substituting various
functions for different HW arch needs.
Added PIO mode setup and all DMA modes.
Support for all known SiS chipsets. Thanks to Christoph Kukulies for
sponsoring a nice ASUS P4S8X SiS648 based board for this work!

Tested on:	i386, PC98, alpha and sparc64

Major update of the ATA RAID code, part 1:

2002-02-04T19:23:40+00:00

Overhaul of the attach/detach code and structures, there were some nasty
bugs in the old implementation. This made it possible to collapse the
ATA/ATAPI device control structures into one generic structure.

A note here, the kernel is NOT ready for detach of active devices,
it fails all over in random places, but for inactive devices it works.
However for ATA RAID this works, since the RAID abstration layer
insulates the buggy^H^H^H^H^H^Hfragile device subsystem from the
physical disks.

Proberly detect the RAID's from the BIOS, and mark critical RAID1
arrays as such, but continue if there is enough of the mirror left
to do so.

Properly fail arrays on a live system. For RAID0 that means return EIO,
and for RAID1 it means continue on the still working part of the mirror
if possible, else return EIO.
If the state changes, log this to the console.

Allow for Promise & Highpoint controllers/arrays to coexist on the
same machine. It is not possible to distribute arrays over different
makes of controllers though.

If Promise SuperSwap enclosures are used, signal disk state on the
status LED on the front.

Misc fixes that I had lying around for various minor bugs.

Overhaul to minimize stack usage, in some places >2K was used

on the stack *blush*...

Refine the detach/attach code.

2001-03-14T12:05:44+00:00

Proberly fail outstanding bio requests on devices that are detached.

This makes it possible to change between disk/cdrom/dvd/whathaveyou
in a notebook, just by suspending it, changing the device in the
bay (or what you model calls it), unsuspend and the ATA driver
will figure out what disappeared and properly fail those, and attach
any new devices found.

Add session argument to *close_disk, allowing to set session type on fixate.

2001-01-10T19:19:47+00:00

Add support for different blank/erase types.

Update headers.
