bus-independent core driver. Tested on all three bus types, including
an isa 3c509 masquerading as an eisa device (use ep* at eisa? slot ? in
your kernel config file to catch this one).
XXX Driver still needs to be converted to <machine/bus.h>
bus support want to attach to should be declared in conf/files, so that
hairy ordering constraints on the inclusions of busses' "files" files
in files.{MACHINE} are avoided. isabus, pcibus attributes will go here later.
The problem is, for instance, that there are some devices in files.isa
currently which require that 'pci' be defined, but there are some PCI
devices (e.g. 'sio' on the Alpha) that provide isabus interfaces, i.e.
'isa' busses attach to them. Unless the the bus-attachment attributes
are here, it's impossible to declare the busses' files and attribute
dependencies in a machine-independent way.
and the "kernel.tar.Z" distribution on louie.udel.edu, which is older than
xntp 3.4y or 3.5a, but contains newer kernel source fragments.
This commit adds support for a new kernel configuration option, NTP.
If NTP is selected, then the system clock should be run at "HZ", which
must be defined at compile time to be one value from:
60, 64, 100, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
Powers of 2 are ideal; 60 and 100 are supported but are marginally less
accurate.
If NTP is not configured, there should be no change in behavior relative
to pre-NTP kernels.
These changes have been tested extensively with xntpd 3.4y on a decstation;
almost identical kernel mods work on an i386. No pulse-per-second (PPS)
line discipline support is included, due to unavailability of hardware
to test it.
With this in-kernel PLL support for NetBSD, both xntp 3.4y and xntp
3.5a user-level code need minor changes. xntp's prototype for
syscall() is correct for FreeBSD, but not for NetBSD.
add 'fddi' attribute, and files descriptions for it.
XXX add 'pdq' attribute, and add files descriptions for it. This is to
XXX support the various front-ends that use his driver (which will eventually
XXX live on PCI, EISA, and TC busses at least). This is probably not the best
XXX way to arrange this, but i can't think of a better way without whacking
XXX a lot of things.
