I'm sorry to hijack your thread Robert, but I just wanted to hear if there
is any progress in making CAM (and the individual card drivers) MPSAFE?

FreeBSD is mainly used for servers, where SCSI is pretty common. To me it
seems like locking down CAM would be beneficial to a large number of FreeBSD
users.

I don't have the knowledge or time to do any real work on this myself, but I
should be able to help test patches.
