explicitely by a plain integer array
the length in now known to all relevant parties, so this avoids
duplication of information, and we can allocate that thing in
drivers without hacks
-convert submatch() style functions (passed to config_search() or
config_found_sm()) to the locator passing variants
-pass interface attributes in some cases
-make submatch() functions look uniformly as far as possible
-avoid macros which just hide cfdata members, and reduce dependencies
on "locators.h"
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
Drochner's work made in nisimura-pmax-wscons branch. Still a little
to do before useful for DECstation. MI softintr required.
- allow wildcard matchs to have zstty/zskbd/zsms in default hardware
configuration.
- abandon to check zs_ioasic_cnattach() return value; it doesn't fail.
- have zs_ioasic_cnattach() serial line parameters hardcoded inside, in
symmetry with zs_ioasic_lk201_cnattach().
