Btw, it does not seem to me that NetBSD people cares about any
synchronisation with FreeBSD-scsi. At some time they shitted hard on the
ncr driver, claiming that it was bad and slow and still seem to ignore
your CAM code.

Removing the __P macro a decade after it got useless for any C software is
a great improvement for the looking of the FreeBSD code base, in my
opinion. The few additional coordination problems we could have for the
SCSI stuff with NetBSD appears as negligible to me.
