New Revision: 199109
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/199109

Log:
  MFC r198719 (head) r199095 (stable/8):
  > While certain supported Symbios/LSI SCSI chips (532c896, 53c1000, 53c1010)
  > do support 64bit addresses, the current SCRIPTS code supports only 32bit
  > addresses causing data corruption for buffer addresses >4GB. This problem
  > affects 64bit machines with more than 4GB RAM or amd64 with 4GB and
  > memory hole remapping.
  > Work-around this problem with a bus_dma tag that requests bounce-buffers
  > for addresses >4GB. This causes some overhead, but given the maximum SCSI
  > bus speed of 160MB/s compared, the effect should hardly be noticeable.
  > The problem was reported by Mike Watters (mike at mwatters net) who also
  > verified that this fix cures the problem.
  >
  > Since this change is a NOOP on systems with less than 4GB RAM and fixes
  > data corruption (in RAM and on disk) on systems with more than 4GB, I hope
  > that this change is accepted for 8.0.

  [1] Stefan requested this be part of 8.0 but has been unavailable to do
      the MFC since submitting the request.  We want to get 8.0-RC3 started
      so I'm doing the merges with re@ hat on.
