So, maybe I'm missing how things work in the FreeBSD world, but what
on earth does bounce buffers have to do with the ccd?  The ccd is
a layered driver, which knows nothing about the underlying component
(or, at least, that's how it's _supposed_ to work, and is how it works
in NetBSD).

Really, any dependency on bounce buffers out side of specific scsi
controller drivers is just plain broken.
