  Bring in the mpr(4) driver for LSI's MPT3 12Gb SAS controllers.

  This is derived from the mps(4) driver, but it supports only the 12Gb
  IT and IR hardware including the SAS 3004, SAS 3008 and SAS 3108.

  Some notes about this driver:
   o The 12Gb hardware can do "FastPath" I/O, and that capability is included in
     this driver.

   o WarpDrive functionality has been removed, since it isn't supported in
     the 12Gb driver interface.

   o The Scatter/Gather list handling code is significantly different between
     the 6Gb and 12Gb hardware.  The 12Gb boards support IEEE Scatter/Gather
     lists.

  Thanks to LSI for developing and testing this driver for FreeBSD.

  Add the mpr(4) man page to the man4 Makefile.

  This should have been included in r265236.

  Adjust #if statements inside mprsas_send_smpcmd() to more accurately
  reflect when unmapped I/O support was added.

  For FreeBSD 10, it arrived just prior to __FreeBSD_version 1000028.
  For FreeBSD 9, it arrived just prior to __FreeBSD_version 902001.

  Also, fix compiler warnings in mprsas_send_smpcmd() that happen in the
  i386 PAE build for non-unmapped I/O builds.  These were fixed in mps(4)
  in revision 241145, but didn't make it into the mpr(4) driver.  This
  change should only affect FreeBSD versions outside the above revisions,
  and thus doesn't affect head.

  Fix a problem with async notifications in the mpr(4) driver.

  This problem only occurs on versions of FreeBSD prior to the recent CAM
  locking changes.  (i.e. stable/9 and older versions of stable/10)  This
  change should be a no-op for head and stable/10.

  If a path isn't specified, xpt_register_async() will create a fully
  wildcarded path and acquire a lock (the XPT lock in older versions,
  and via xpt_path_lock() in newer versions) to call xpt_action() for the
  XPT_SASYNC_CB CCB.  It will then drop the lock and if the requested event
  includes AC_FOUND_DEVICE or AC_PATH_REGISTERED, it will get the caller up
  to date with any device arrivals or path registrations.

  The issue is that before the locking changes, each SIM lock would get
  acquired in turn during the EDT tree traversal process.  If a path is
  specified for xpt_register_async(), it won't acquire and drop its own lock,
  but instead expects the caller to hold its own SIM lock.  That works for
  the first part of xpt_register_async(), but causes a recursive lock
  acquisition once the EDT traversal happens and it comes to the SIM in
  question.  And it isn't possible to call xpt_action() without holding a SIM
  lock.

  The locking changes fix this by using the XPT topology lock for EDT
  traversal, so it is no longer an issue to hold the SIM lock while calling
  xpt_register_async().

  The solution for FreeBSD versions before the locking changes is to request
  notification of all device arrivals (so we pass a NULL path into
  xpt_register_async()) and then filter out the arrivals that are not ours.

  Change the device name for mpr(4) from /dev/mpr_N to /dev/mprN.

  This is more consistent with the existing mps(4) behavior.
