children attaching and config(1) detects isa0 as orphaned in RC3230.
While turning isabus into an interface attribute doesn't work (because the
attribute 'isabus' already exists), depending on that very same attribute
works.
XXX I wonder what to allow, what to disallow. I'll think about it.
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.
- Using the prom getenv function determine the correct console port
- Remove old prom function hooks
- Tidy up bootflags (remove upper case names, fixup RB_ASKNAME) as
recommended by Jaromír Doleèek
