a quick think and discussion among various people some form of some of
these changes will probably be recommitted.
The reversion requested was requested by dg while discussions proceed.
PHK has indicated that he can live with this, and it has been agreed
that some form of some of these changes may return shortly after further
discussion.

bt_mca.c is going to live in sys/dev/buslogic instead of sys/dev/mca

EOPNOTSUPP. Display a message in that case and return ENOSYS to userland.

1. Move definitions of struct i386_*_args to the header file sysarch.h,
since they are part of the sysarch API. struct i386_get_ldt_args and
i386_set_ldt_args were identical, therefore make them into one
struct i386_ldt_args. Libc should use these definitions as well.
2. Return a more sensible EOPNOTSUPP for unknown operations.

This commit also enables the new pcm driver since it is somewhat tied to

Remove WD formatting code which has never worked in 386bsd or FreeBSD.
Remove DIOCSSTEP and DIOCSRETRIES ioctls as well, they belong in
history, along with the SMD disks.

external NatSemi PHY chip was programmed to respond to MII address 24.
In the 3c905B ASICs, the transceiver is internal but it's still mapped
to MII address 24. But *some* 3Com 3c905B ASIC revisions map the
transceiver control registers to *all* MII addresses (0 through 31).
The miibus code probes for PHYs at all MII addresses and because of
this unusual behavior, it will attempt to map the same PHY registers
several times over, which doesn't work.
Naturally, the 3c905B NIC that I tested happened not to exhibit this
behavior.
The fix is to tweak xl_miibus_readreg() and xl_miibus_writereg()
to only respond when attempting to read from MII address 24. This
is safe to do since the 3Com documentation indicates that the PHY
and/or internal transceiver will always be mapped to address 24,
and there are no 3Com XL NICs with more than one PHY.

Break out the detection logic for the aic7855 and properly report
these chips as 7855s instead of 7850s.
The 2940AU_CN is an aic7860 based card, not aic7860.
Not setting CACHETHEN turned out to be a bad idea. It can cause
spurious corruption under heavy PCI load with multiple masters.

statement to put the rcsid into the .comment section. This allows
the comments (ie:version id's of compiler, headers, source, etc) to be
stripped out with the standard tools (strip/objcopy). SVR4 has a
tool called 'mcs' (manipulate comment section) which allows you to
add/remove/compact strings. Removing duplicate strings helps a lot
if the headers generate them.
Using __attribute__((section(".comment"))) would probably also work,
but that still leaves the RCSID occupying C name space somewhere.
due to the fact that there are non-MII cards supported by the same
driver and I don't have all of the cards available for testing. There's
also the 3c905B-COMBO which has MII, AUI and BNC media ports all in one
package. Supporting the COMBO is difficult because we have to add the
10base5 and 10base2 media types to the same ifmedia struct as the
MII-attached types, however there is no way to force the miibus and
child PHYs into existence before xl_attach() completes, so there is
no ifmedia struct available in xl_attach(). What we do inistead is
use the mediainit method as a callback: when a child PHY is attached,
it calls the miibus mediainit routine which selects a default media.
This routing also calls the NIC driver's mediainit method (if it
implements one) at which point we can safely add the other media
types.
