This adds a device (atabus) between IDE controllers and wd or atapibus, to
have each ATA channel show up in the device tree. Later there will be atabus
devices in /dev, so that we can do IOCTL on them.
Each atabus has its own kernel thread, to handle operations that needs polling,
e.g. reset and others.
Device probing on each bus it defered to the atabus thread creation.
This allows to do the reset and basic device probes in parallel, which reduce
boot time on systems with several pciide controllers.
removing assumptions that there are only two B channels and by
adding support for a varying number of channels.
Due to this, rename previously used isdn identified "bri" to "isdnif",
which better describes the current situation.
most polling.
2) Clean up some goofiness in pciide -- get rid of the whole "candisable" path
(it's gratuitous) and simplify the code by calling pciide_map_compat_intr(),
*_set_modes() and wdc_print_modes() from central locations.
3) Add a register writability and register ghost test to eliminate phantom
drives more quickly.
- Split if_fmv.c into MI/MD part and add ISA-PnP attachment for FMV-183.
(XXX FMV-184 is not tested. It would require extra media-select functions..)
- Fix probe functions of fmv_isa so that FMV-181A/182A will also match.
Fixes port-i386/9476.
into a strange failure mode if we do it with disabled interrupt. When
(re-)enabling interrupts reset transmitter and receiver and clear any
pending state.
for the same purpose (ignoring invalid interrupts).
For cards that are not able to stop all interrupts (or we don't know a way
to do that in software, at least) run the clearirq callback even when
ignoring an interrupt because we are not enabled. Otherwise the card would
stop interrupting.
Reserve a driver specific callout handle and an int value in the generic
isic_softc to allow card drivers to implement fancy blinkenlights.
and move them in their proper places.
Move the BRI registry from layer 2 (duh!) to layer 4, so active cards
(which don't have layer 3 or layer 2 in their driver). Remove all remaining
hard coded controller and driver types. Remove any arbitrary hard coded
limits, at least those that show up in the internal API.
This fixes PR 15950.
