layers. Common middle layer shared by kbd_zs and sunkbd is moved into
the new file. Move shared config directives to files.sun and adjust
ports' files.* accordingly.
Need this to support console/Xsun on Mr.Coffee JavaStation.
Tested on sparc, sparc64 (by martin) and sun3 (by jdc).
Unlike the other Sun machines, UltraSPARCs can have consoles run on different
chips than zs, so we need to support them. So, here we go:
Add a new PROM console driver with a major number and everything.
This is the default driver if nothing else attaches. It does not
use the keyboard driver since the PROM translates keystrokes itself.
(Unfortunately it also swallows L1-A).
Have the keyboard driver take over the console when it attaches on a
serial port. When a serial port detects a keyboard and attaches the
keyboard driver, it needs to provide a set of consdev vectors. They
keyboard driver will use those to send I/O to the keyboard and mouse.
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.
interface border, so that other serial interfaces can be attached to the
ms/kbd. zero functional changes and mostly involves moving code around
a bit. tested on the SS2.
this is necessary to attach the PCI ultrasparc keyboard/mouse drivers.
