  Log:
  Bring aac out from under Giant:
  - the mutex aac_io_lock protects the main codepaths which handle queues and
    hardware registers.  Only one acquire/release is done in the top-half and
    the taskqueue.  This mutex also applies to the userland command path and
    CAM data path.
  - Move the taskqueue to the new Giant-free version.
  - Register the disk device with DISKFLAG_NOGIANT so the top-half processing
    runs without Giant.
  - Move the dynamic command allocator to the worker thread to avoid locking
    issues with bus_dmamem_alloc().
  
  This gives about 20% improvement in most of my benchmarks.
