One solution that Scott suggested to some of the negotiation issues for the MPT was to not do parallel problem, i.e., all targets in parallel. The patch at http://people.freebsd.org/~mjacob/CAM_PATCHES_FOR_SEQSCAN does just that and I've had quite good success with it so far. I add a new flat, PIM_SEQSCAN, which cases xpt_scan_bus to *not* scan all targets in parallel but rather to scan them sequentially. Comments? The code also does some cleanups under failure conditions. After a bit more testing I'd like to put this in if there are no objections so I can get the mpt U320 stuff off my back for a while.
