SCSI improvements:
+
+ - better cd(4) detaching.
+
- better st(4) sense data and buf handling.
+
- eliminate excessive delays when starting DVD playing.
+
- ask only for minimal (i.e. 18 bytes) sense data, fixing usb devices.
+
- migrate to using bufq.
+
- always try READ CAPACITY 16 on devices claiming to be SCSI-3.
+
- many performance and reliability improvements as a result of new SCSI midlayer:
+
+ - eliminate many unnecessary splbio/splx calls in SCSI drivers.
+
- eliminate many use after free's exposed by new SCSI midlayer.
+
- eliminate scsi_scsi_cmd(), simplifying calling inside SCSI midlayer.
+
- eliminate struct scsi_device.
+
- eliminate many uninitialized data references and invalid scsi_done() calls exposed by new SCSI midlayer.
+
- eliminate use of EAGAIN.
+
- eliminate almost all uses of NO_CCB and XS_NO_CCB.
