devmajor_t/devminor_t, as proposed on tech-kern.
This avoids 64-bit arithmetics and 64-bit printf formats in parts
of the kernel where it is not really useful, and helps clarity.
- Add a lot of missing selinit() and seldestroy() calls.
- Merge selwakeup() and selnotify() calls into a single selnotify().
- Add an additional 'events' argument to selnotify() call. It will
indicate which event (POLL_IN, POLL_OUT, etc) happen. If unknown,
zero may be used.
Note: please pass appropriate value of 'events' where possible.
Proposed on: <tech-kern>
configuration routine has been attached to the putter device minor
number, the configuration routine will be called when the device
is opened. This is required for subsystems which enter the kernel
only through the file descriptor and cannot configure themselves
via another route (like puffs does via the mount() syscall). Keep
the minor number 0 for "wildcard" uses where we do not require a
hardwired config routine (e.g. the puffs case).
