 Hi, 

 Tagged queueing feature of a VMware virtual disk connected with SCSI
has been disabled since the cam quirk was added.
# this quirk is needed to find the drive by SCSI HA.

 I modified this quirk to allow tagged queueing while finding out causes
of low disk performance. 
 This modification improve the throughput of the disk I/O on VMware ESX
Server 3, at least. (4MBps -> 18Mbps, by some easy measurements using dd).


I think following modification to be applicable to RELENG_[456] and MAIN.
I applied this patch to my RELENG_5 (virtual) box and do 'make -j4
buildworld' now and at present, the problem has not occurred.
