standard scheme:
if (<configured> != <wildcard> && <configured> != <real>)
then fail
else
ask device match function
This is handled by config_stdsubmatch() now.
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"
drivers that attach to it. This allows for other host interface chips
that use the same keyboards and mice, such as the ones in the ARM
IOMD20, ARM7500, and SA-1111. The PC-compatible driver is still
called pckbc(4), and the new abstraction layer is "pckbport", so the
child devices have moved from sys/dev/pckbc to sys/dev/pckbport, which
also contains some code shared between all host controllers. To avoid
incompatibility, pckbdreg.h is still installed in
/usr/include/dev/pckbc.
In theory, this shouldn't cause any behavioural changes in the drivers
concerned. Thy just use rather more function pointers than before. Tested
on i386 and (with a new host driver) acorn32. Compiled on several other
affected architectures.
