- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
[these bugs apply to the xy as well as the xd driver]
[1] check return value from malloc() for NULL before trying to bzero it.
[2] use "=" rather than "|=" when writing to CSR (otherwise you may
ACK something you don't mean to!).
zero since xycmatch no longer sets it). [if you call mapiodev()
with a zero size it will reuse the KVA it returns, swiping the device
out from under you!]
- make xyc->iopbase point in the kernels DVMA space rather than at the
normal malloc'd KVA. this isn't compatable with sun4m [doesn't
have a kernel DVMA space] and will need to be changed later (XXX).
- move disk_attach() to before reading the disk label as per Jason.
otherwise we are reading into an unallocated buffer (oops!)
device address (bus_tmp, bus_map, and mapiodev now do this for us).
also, we handle all our mappings, so don't have obio.c do any for us
(i.e. don't set ra->ra_len in xycmatch).
- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
