Once again throw out the calculation of si_iosize_max and set it to 64K.
Although it can go higher, it is not safe to so do on arrays with many
members. Compromise by adding a tunable, "hw.aac.iosize_max" that can be
set at boottime. Also document in the aac(4) manpage.

Bugfixes. Close a race and logic bug in the timeout handling, don't call the
interrupt handler from the upper half, etc. This fixes some serious stability
problems that we were seeing on our production server. These patches have
been tested for almost 6 months and are a highly recommended MFC candidate.

This is an MFC candidate.

Add the AAC_DEBUG option to enable debugging in the aac driver.

Correct a race condition in the interrupt handler where the
controller may queue a fib to a response queue after the driver
has serviced the queue but before the interrupt is cleared.
This could leave a completed fib stranded in the response queue
unless another I/O completed and generated another interrupt.

Major bugfix and minor update. This should resolve the current issues
with the driver locking up under load.

- Restructure so that we use a static pool of commands/FIBs, rather than
allocating them in clusters. The cluster allocation just made things
more complicated, and allowed us to waste more memory in peak load
situations.
- Make queueing macros more like my other drivers. This adds queue stats
for free. Add some debugging to take advantage of this.
- Reimplement the periodic timeout scan. Kick the interrupt handler
and the start routine every scan as well, just to be safe. Track busy
commands properly.
- Bring resource cleanup into line with resource allocation. We should
now clean up correctly after a failed probe/unload/etc.
- Try to start new commands when old ones are completed. We weren't doing
this before, which could lead to deadlock when the controller was full.
- Don't try to build a new command if we have found a deferred command.
This could cause us to lose the deferred command.
- Use diskerr() to report I/O errors.
- Don't bail if the AdapterInfo structure is the wrong size. Some variation
seems to be normal. We need to improve our handing of 2.x firmware sets.
- Improve some comments in an attempt to try to make things clearer.
- Restructure to avoid some warnings.

Disable calling timeout() when doing bio. It was causing more prolems than
solving. This will be fixed for real soon.

Define offsetof() in terms of __offsetof() in <stddef.h> and <sys/types.h>

Remove myriad of local offsetof() definitions.

Remove includes of <stddef.h> in kernel code.

NB: Kernelcode should *never* include from /usr/include !

Make <sys/queue.h> include <machine/ansi.h> to avoid polluting the API.

Deprecate <struct.h> with a warning. The warning turns into an error on
