change these from bp->b_un.b_addr to bp->b_data, as well. This also
allows us more flexibility to experiment with other data buffer types
hung off of struct buf.
it to determine the boot device: mvme68k, pc532, macppc, ofppc. Those
platforms should be changed to use device_register(). In the mean time,
those ports defined __BROKEN_DK_ESTABLISH.
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.
- 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.
(the xd bugs also apply to the xy 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!).
- 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.
