to avoid unnecessary 64 bit ops which would make binaries larger:
satime_t (currently unsigned int):
numbers in seconds returned by the machine dependent getsecs() function
which are used to measure relative time
saseconds_t (currently int):
numbers in seconds used to specify timeout to network drivers
Per discussion on current-users.
Use <net/if_ether.h> for ethernet specific definitions, and insert private
definitions for ARP if needed. (The new ARP macros in <net/if_arp.h> are
not used because they create larger code, and we really don't need more
than ethernet/ip support here.)
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
a) check against `my' ethernet or broadcast addresses done in
ether.c
b) changed interface to readether() to provide ethertype info
c) respond to arp requests when appropriate.
First two are clean-up. Last fixes hp300 and presumably mvme68k netboot
code.
* Fix some misused types.
* Encapsulate the protocols better.
* Rearrange the RPC stuff to work more like the kernel. (Needs more work.)
* Remove a bunch of extra hair when reading a file over NFS.
* Use RPCAUTH_UNIX when talking to the NFS server.
