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.
directly, call the function pointer (*if_input)(ifp, m). The input routine
expects the packet header to be at the head of the packet, and will adjust
as necessary. Privatize the layer 2 input and output routines, allowing
*_ifattach() to set them up as appropriate.
- machine independent chip driver, in dev/ic/smc90cx6.c/...reg.h,...var.h,
using bus_space methods
- ZBUS frontend in arch/amiga/dev/if_bah_zbus.c
- added IPL_SOFTNET to arch/amiga/include/intr.h, for this
Implementing the ISA bus frontend is left as an exercise to the reader.
device and a printable "external name" (name + unit number), thus eliminating
if_name and if_unit. Updated interface to (*if_watchdog)() and (*if_start)()
to take a struct ifnet *, rather than a unit number.
the "Fast Assembler Version of the copy loop)
- Yet another sanity check included: initialize unused receive buffers to
zero sender id; and test for sender hardware id of zero in the receiver.
Gives us better error messages in case flaky hardware causes spurious
receive interupts.
- 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.
