Environment independent - error in base code for /sbin/camcontrol
>Description:
On SPARC64 machine, running the camcontrol devlist command fails because the xptioctl code thinks the physical flag (CAM_DATA_PHYS) is set. 

In looking into /usr/src/sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c in the getdevtree routine, the CCB union is allocated off the stack, but the bzero command to clear out the structure skips the header section and just clears the ccb_dev_match part. Because of this, whatever is on the stack is sent as header flags to the ioctl routine. 

I would suggest clearing out the entire strucure or explicitly setting all fields in the header structure.
>How-To-Repeat:
Difficult to do unless you can mess up the stack data to imitate the CAM_DATA_PHYS being set.
>Fix:
Change line 306 from

bzero(&(&ccb.ccb_h)[1], sizeof(struct ccb_dev_match) - sizeof(struct ccb_hdr));

to

bzero(&ccb, sizeof(ccb));
