aacraid: SCSI blk tag support
The method to allocate and free FIB's in the present code utilizes spinlocks. Multiple IO's have to wait on the spinlock to acquire or free fibs creating a performance bottleneck. An alternative solution would be to use block layer tags to keep track of the fibs allocated and freed. To this end aac_fib_alloc_tag was created to utilize the blk layer tags to plug into the Fib pool.These functions are used exclusively in the IO path. 8 fibs are reserved for the use of AIF management software and utilize the previous spinlock based implementations.
