xpt_bus_register and xpt_bus_deregister returns a hybrid error that's
neither a cam_status, nor an errno, but a mix of both. Update
xpt_bus_register and xpt_bus_deregister to return an errno. The vast
majority of current users compare against zero, which can also be
spelled CAM_SUCCESS. Nobody uses CAM_FAILURE, so remove that symbol
to prevent comfusion (nothing returns it either).
Where the return value is saved, ensure that the variable 'error' is
used to store an errno and 'status' is used to store a cam_status where
it makes the code clearer (usually just in functions that already mix
and match). Where the return value isn't used at all, avoid storing it
at all.

While the PV SCSI SG list can handle 512k of SG entries, it can only do
so for I/O that's aligned to 4k or better. newfs_msdos does unaligned
I/O, so triggers too long for host errors in cam when a 512k I/O is
attempted. Prefer power of 2 256k to the absolute maximum 508k, though
that can be revisited should the latter show to give significant
performance improvement.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

This driver allows to usage of the paravirt SCSI controller
in VMware products like ESXi. The pvscsi driver provides a
substantial performance improvement in block devices versus
the emulated mpt and mps SCSI/SAS controllers.
Error handling in this driver has not been extensively tested
yet.
