  Modified files:        (Branch: RELENG_4)
    sys/pci              isp_pci.c 
  Log:
  MFC (1.47): Change startup locking. Use new isp_handle_index function
  for indexing off of handles to get dma maps.
  
  MFC (1.46): Clean up firmware load issues and remove darn near all config
  options.  Force alphas to prefer mem mapping as the default.
  
  Basically, we have a pointer to a function which we can call which will
  return us a pointer to firmware for the card we have. We call this function
  (if it's non-NULL) with the address of our mdvec f/w pointer.
  
  The way this works is that if ispfw (as a module or a static) is loaded,
  it initializes the pointer in isp_pci, so we can call into to it to fetch
  a pointer to a f/w set.
  
  If ispfw is MOD_UNLOADed, it's retained a pointer to our mdvec f/w pointers,
  which then get zeroed out so we don't have any references to data that's
  now gone from kernel memory. Removing the f/w saves ~360KBytes.
  
  Alas, there is no autounload mechanism that works for is here.
