This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
Fix so that resource wait queueing works.
Changed all functions to take a pointer to uba_softc instead of unit
number, except for ubareset(). This must be done later.
old config anymore, all devices should use new config by now.
Add structures to handle DMA devices using new config.
Fixed bug that caused unwanted ubareset's on 11/780.
naming conflicts between bus attachments on ports that can have
multiple instances of the LANCE.
Changed struct ifnet to have a pointer to the softc of the underlying
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_reset)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
chip-independent clock code. 'clock' has been renamed 'mcclock' 'clock'
has been renamed 'mcclock' (since it's a driver for that particular
clock, and since eventually there may be another clock chip driver),
and now attaches via seperate match/attach functions to both TC and ISA.
This removes a whole lot of #ifdefs...
and will probably work with Massbus adapters as well. (Not tested,
but it's the same code as for 11/780). Ubareset's may cause crashes
on 8600 also like 11/780, but they are more uncommon. No support
for console RL02 yet, but it's likely to come.
