timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
to compile. I made the changes that seemed to make sense tracking the
shift from TS_WOPEN to tp->t_wopen- but they may be wrong. I wasn't
subscribed to tech-kern so I missed the discussion, and C. Hannum
was not particularly enlightening. Sorry if this isn't quite right.
(1) fix a printf format (%x to print int, not %lx).
(2) fix probe of 4th chip/16th channel (used to tell whether or not the
board is a 16- or 32-port board) by removing an incorrect offset so
that the code matched its comments. (!!!)
(3) fix storage of chip number in per-channel structure so that it actually
stores the chip number, rather than the chip offset. This allows the
driver to work with more than the first four channels (i.e. with chips
other than chip number 0, which happens to have an offset of zero). (!!!)
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
