a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
(soon to be documented on mailing lists; eventually in section 9 manual
pages), most importantly:
(1) support interrupt pin swizzling on non-i386 systems with
PCI-PCI bridges (per PPB spec; done, but meaningless, on i386).
(2) provide pci_{io,mem}_find(), to determine what I/O or memory
space is described by a given PCI configuration space
mapping register.
(3) provide pci_intr_map(), pci_intr_string(), and
pci_intr_{,dis}establish() to manipulate and print info about
PCI interrupts.
(4) make pci functions take as an argument a machine-dependent
cookie, to allow more flexibility in implementation.
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
pcibus and pci.
(2) remove the #ifdef i386 from pci.c, and provide a machine-dependent
hook (pci_md_attach_hook()) to do any machine-dependent attachment
gunk, e.g. on the i386 printing out the configuration mode (if bus 0)
(3) don't pass max device number for a given bus in, use
PCI_MAX_DEVICE_NUMBER, which can be defined on a per-machine basis.
(defaults to 32. on i386, it's 32 if pci conf mode == 1, 16 if 2.)
(pci_attach_subdev()). remove pciattach() function and the pcicd cfdriver
struct, the former because thre are a lot of attachment actions which really
are machine-dependent (perhaps even "most"), and the latter because now that
both pcimatch() and pciattach() are machine-dependent it's bad style to
declare them here and it gains nothing.
