The bug was primarily in procfs_mem, but the mistake likely happened
due to the lack of vm system support for the operation. I added
better support for selective marking of page dirty flags so that
vm_map_pageable(wiring) will not cause this problem again.
The code in procfs_mem is now less bogus (but maybe still a little
so.)
selection loop was merged with the poll_for_work loop. We cannot assume
that the SCB for the selection timeout is the current SCB. Instead we
must look at the SCB at the head of the waiting for selection list.
This fixes part of a problem reported by David Malone, but does not explain
why he was getting selection timeouts in the first place.
the directory format (ext2fs, cd9660). For these filesystems, it must use
cookies to find the correct offset to use for subsequent reads. Without it,
linux /bin/ls tends to loop re-reading the same block over and over again.

(see LINT). There is a new low-level console type that is more suitable
for use with gdb-remote.
Fixed setting of speed at probe time for the serial console (if any).

Bump the timeout for an "ordered tag" recovery action from 1 to 5 seconds.
Remove the multiple timeout panic. Its very easy to get into a situation
where a timedout command will time out a second time even though the
recovery code is working fine. A good example is:
1) Command times out during recovery
2) reset the timeout for the command
3) Recovery actions complete and all transactions are requeued
4) second timeout fires off which puts us back into recovery bogusly
5) another transaction that timedout once during the first recovery action
times out causing the panic.
In essence, the correct solution to the problem is to put every transaction
back up into the work queue and have their timeout handling done in the same
way that all commands are handled. The CAM layer makes this easy, so it
will have to wait until then.
either by looking it up in the array of pending, per target, untagged
transactions, or by using the tag value passed in during the identify. The
old code only direct indexed for tagged transactions. This makes the
"findSCB" routine only necessary when SCB paging is enabled, so appropriately
conditionalize it. This greatly simplifies the non SCB paging code flow.

This allows me to run with flags 0xc0ff on my IBM-DMCA-21440 disk, which
gives 5MB/sec sequential read :-)
If you have a laptop, try adding flag 0x4000 to your disk, and tell me if
it makes any difference for you.

Killed exech_map as a result of these changes.
There appears to be no performance difference with this change.
Lookup isn't done every time the system goes idle now, but it can still
take > 1800 instructions in the worst case, so if cpu interrupts are kept
disabled then it might lose 20 characters of sio input at 115200 bps.

at least it's a starting point. ;-)
change typematic rate, or the X server (XFree86 or Accelerated X)

So far, there have been two independent reports from Dell Latitude XPi
notebook/laptop owners. The Latitude seems to be the only system which
suffers from this problem. (I don't know the problem is with the
entire Latitude line or with only some Latitude models) No problem
report has been heard about other systems (I certainly cannot
reproduce the problem in my -current and 2.2 systems).
In 3.0-CURRENT, 2.2-RELEASE and 2.2-GAMMA-970310, when programming the
keyboard LED/repeat-rate, `set_keyboard()' in `syscons' tells the
keyboard controller not to generate keyboard interrupt (IRQ1) and then
enable tty interrupts, expecting the keyboard interrupt doesn't occur.
It appears that somehow Latitude's keyboard controller still generates
the keyboard interrupt thereafter, and `set_keyboard()' doesn't see
the return code from the keyboard because it is consumed by the
keyboard interrupt handler.
The patch entirely disables tty interrupts while setting LED and
typematic rate in `set_keyboard()', making the routine behave more
like the previous versions of `syscons' (versions in 2.1.X and
2.2-ALPHA, -BETA, and some -GAMMAs). The reporter said this patch
eliminated the problem.
(I also found another typo/bug, but the reporter and I found that it
wasn't the cause of the problem...)
This should go into RELENG_2_2.
