# 220454 08-Apr-2011 mav

- Add kern.cam.ada.X.write_cache tunables/sysctls to control write caching
on per-device basis.
- While adding support for per-device sysctls, merge from graid branch
support for ADA_TEST_FAILURE kernel option, which opens few more sysctl,
allowing to simulate read and write errors for testing purposes.

# 220412 07-Apr-2011 mav

# 214381 26-Oct-2010 brucec

Add information about the values and default setting of the
kern.cam.ada.spindown_shutdown sysctl.

MFC after: 3 weeks


# 214279 24-Oct-2010 brucec

Mostly revert r203420, and add similar functionality into ada(4) since the
existing code caused problems with some SCSI controllers.

A new sysctl kern.cam.ada.spindown_shutdown has been added that controls
whether or not to spin-down disks when shutting down.
Spinning down the disks unloads/parks the heads - this is
much better than removing power when the disk is still
spinning because otherwise an Emergency Unload occurs which may cause damage
to the actuator.
