The jhb_bio branch still exists. I've made some refinements to the sglist API and need to do so more. I think my next test will be to add a sglist to each bio in geom_disk and geom_vfs. I then might try to update physio (dd if=/dev/XXX) to not map buffers into KVA (probably tweakable via sysctl) and patch ATA to use the new bus dma call with the sglist in the bio and see what difference that makes. -- John Baldwin
