gadgets (hotkeys, lcd, ...) on Asus laptops. I aim to closely track the
acpi4asus project which implements these features in the Linux kernel.
If this breaks your laptop, please let me know how it does it :-)

Logical volumes on these devices show up as LUNs behind another
controller (also known as proxy controller). In order to issue
firmware commands for a volume on a proxy controller, they must be
targeted at the address of the proxy controller it is attached to,
not the Host/PCI controller.
A proxy controller is defined as a device listed in the INQUIRY
PHYSICAL LUNS command who's L2 and L3 SCSI addresses are zero. The
corresponding address returned defines which "bus" the controller
lives on and we use this to create a virtual CAM bus.
A logical volume's addresses first byte defines the logical drive
number. The second byte defines the bus that it is attached to
which corresponds to the BUS of the proxy controller's found or the
Host/PCI controller.
Change event notification to be handled in its own kernel thread.
This is needed since some events may require the driver to sleep
on some operations and this cannot be done during interrupt context.
With this change, it is now possible to create and destroy logical
volumes from FreeBSD, but it requires a native application to
construct the proper firmware commands which is not publicly
available.
Special thanks to John Cagle @ HP for providing remote access to
all the hardware and beating on the storage engineers at HP to
answer my questions.
change the video output but use a separate device with a DSSX method
and a HID of "TOS6201" instead. We use a pseudo-driver to get the handle
for this object and pass it to the acpi_toshiba driver.
This is untested but seems to match the Linux Toshiba driver.
Should have no side effects
Must not hold resources when it returns
May be called multiple times if it returns < 0.
Remove the bad advise that the probe routine should look for children
for devices that implement busses. This is more properly reserved for
the attach routine.
callout_stop(), except that if the callout being stopped is currently
in progress, it blocks attempts to reset the callout and waits until the
callout is completed before it returns.
This makes it possible to clean up callout-using code safely, e.g.,
without potentially freeing memory which is still being used by a callout.

* Use .Fa instead of .Pa for function arguments.
* Utilize the .Po/.Pc commands for parenthesis
so the format is not ruined.
