the stack, and remove the no-longer-necessary PHOLD()/PRELE() calls
in fdformat().
(This eliminates 1/3 of the instances of PHOLD()/PRELE() in the kernel code.)
XXX We still have too many mostly-redundant floppy drivers.
register for a port under high load. The effect is that the port is wedged
waiting for an interrupt that will never come.
Add a callout-based watchdog which periodically (hz/10) scan trough the ports
for missed interrupts.
Problem also noted by Chris Jones, and this fix also helped him.
a) use stream methods when transferring data via the MEMPORT into/out of
the chips buffer memory
b) use htole16/le16toh when interpreting 16bit values in the chips memory
Both where NOPs on i386 machines, which is why this worked before on the
test machine(s), but would break when on a big-endian machine.
it, before starting the command to install the multicast list.
(We did it right for writing data packets, but failed here.)
Without this, the last multicast address installed won't be made active.
"off_t" and the return value is a "paddr_t" to allow mappings
at offsets past 2^31 bytes. Somewhat inspired by FreeBSD, which
only changed the offset to a "vm_offset_t".
Includes updates for the i386, pc532 and sh3 mmmmap from Jason Thorpe.
such as the LM78 and VT82C686A (and eventually ACPI). Multiple
sensor devices can be hooked registered with `sysmon', and eventually
sysmon will also handle hardware (and software) watchdog timers.
Convert the `lm' and `viaenv' drivers to the new interface.
have _detach() functions:
Ensure that softc keeps state about whether the attach succeeded,
and make the detach function return immediately if the attach did
not complete.
This work is based on code written by Scott D. Telford, the IBM
Token Ring card attachment was written by Gregory McGarry.

is not a reasonable place to allocate 12-bit pcmcia iospace.
It seems to cause conflicts on a large number of modern laptops,
necesitating hand-patching of the kernel (mostly due to
video devices in the upper range of that space).
This will presumably cause problems on the NEC Versa 6030X,
however that appears to be a vastly less common case than
the laptops that are inconvenienced by the current state.
12-bit iospace now uses 0x400-0xfff.
but the registers actually begin at 0x3f2, and this is what PNPBIOS reports
for the floppy controller resources. Adjust the register offsets and the
mapping of them for the ISA front-end to compensate, so that the PNPBIOS
attachment of the floppy controller actually works.
where the floppy driver would wedge because a motor-on timeout would
be cancelled by another I/O operation cancelling a motor-off timeout.
