Add a number of interrelated CAM feature enhancements and bug fixes.
NOTE: These changes will require recompilation of any userland applications, like cdrecord, xmcd, etc., that use the CAM passthrough interface. A make world is recommended. camcontrol.[c8]: - We now support two new commands, "tags" and "negotiate". - The tags commands allows users to view the number of tagged openings for a device as well as a number of other related parameters, and it allows users to set tagged openings for a device. - The negotiate command allows users to enable and disable disconnection and tagged queueing, set sync rates, offsets and bus width. Note that not all of those features are available for all controllers. Only the adv, ahc, and ncr drivers fully support all of the features at this point. Some cards do not allow the setting of sync rates, offsets and the like, and some of the drivers don't have any facilities to do so. Some drivers, like the adw driver, only support enabling or disabling sync negotiation, but do not support setting sync rates. - new description in the camcontrol man page of how to format a disk - cleanup of the camcontrol inquiry command - add support in the 'devlist' command for skipping unconfigured devices if -v was not specified on the command line. - make use of the new base_transfer_speed in the path inquiry CCB. - fix CCB bzero cases cam_xpt.c, cam_sim.[ch], cam_ccb.h: - new flags on many CCB function codes to designate whether they're non-immediate, use a user-supplied CCB, and can only be passed from userland programs via the xpt device. Use these flags in the transport layer and pass driver to categorize CCBs. - new flag in the transport layer device matching code for device nodes that indicates whether a device is unconfigured - bump the CAM version from 0x10 to 0x11 - Change the CAM ioctls to use the version as their group code, so we can force users to recompile code even when the CCB size doesn't change. - add + fill in a new value in the path inquiry CCB, base_transfer_speed. Remove a corresponding field from the cam_sim structure, and add code to every SIM to set this field to the proper value. - Fix the set transfer settings code in the transport layer. scsi_cd.c: - make some variables volatile instead of just casting them in various places - fix a race condition in the changer code - attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error. This should fix all of the cases where people have devices that return weird errors when they don't have media in the drive. scsi_da.c: - attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error scsi_pass.c: - for immediate CCBs, just malloc a CCB to send the user request in. This gets rid of the 'held' count problem in camcontrol tags. scsi_pass.h: - change the CAM ioctls to use the CAM version as their group code. adv driver: - Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately. adw driver - Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately. aha driver: - Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs. ahc driver: - Allow setting offset and sync rate separately bt driver: - Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs. NCR driver: - Fix the ultra/ultra 2 negotiation bug - allow setting both the sync rate and offset separately Other HBA drivers: - Put code in to set the base_transfer_speed field for XPT_GET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.

+.It dev_active
+This is the number of transactions currently queued to a device.
+.It devq_openings
+This is the kernel queue space for transactions. This count usually mirrors
+dev_openings except during error recovery operations when
+the device queue is frozen (device is not allowed to receive
+commands), the number of dev_openings is reduced, or transaction
+replay is occurring.
+.It devq_queued
+This is the number of transactions waiting in the kernel queue for capacity
+on the device. This number is usually zero unless error recovery is in
+progress.
+.It held
+The held count is the number of CCBs held by peripheral drivers that have
+either just been completed or are about to be released to the transport
+layer for service by a device. Held CCBs reserve capacity on a given
+device.
+.It mintags
+This is the current "hard" minimum number of transactions that can be
+queued to a device at once. The
+.Ar dev_openings
+value above cannot go below this number. The default value for
+.Ar mintags
+is 2, although it may be set higher or lower for various devices.
+.It maxtags
+This is the "hard" maximum number of transactions that can be queued to a

+.Nm camcontrol
+will not attempt to set the parameter if the controller indicates that it
+does not support setting the parameter. To find out what the controller
+supports, use the
+.Fl v
+flag. The meaning of the
+.Fl v
+flag for the
+.Sq negotiate
+command is described below. Also, some controller drivers don't support
+setting negotiation parameters, even if the underlying controller supports
+negotiation changes. Some controllers, such as the Advansys wide
+controllers, support enabling and disabling synchronous negotiation for
+a device, but do not support setting the synchronous negotiation rate.

+.It Fl q

+.Pp
+Low level formatting a disk will destroy ALL data on the disk. Use
+extreme caution when issuing this command. Many users low-level format
+disks that do not really need to be low-level formatted. There are
+relatively few scenarios that call for low-level formatting a disk.
+One reason for
+low-level formatting a disk is if you want to change the physical sector
+size of the disk. Another reason for low-level formatting a disk is to
+revive the disk if you are getting "medium format corrupted" errors from the
+disk in response to read and write requests.
+.Pp
+Some disks take longer than others to format. Users should specify a
+timeout long enough to allow the format to complete. Some hard disks
+will complete a format operation in a very short period of time (on the
+order of 5 minutes or less). This is often because the drive doesn't
+really support the FORMAT UNIT command -- it just accepts the command,
+waits a few minutes and then returns it.
