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.
uvm_swapout_threads will swapout LWPs which are running on another CPU:
- uvm_swapout_threads considers LWPs running on another CPU for swapout
if their l_swtime is high
- uvm_swapout_threads considers LWPs on the runqueue for swapout if their
l_swtime is high but these LWPs might be running by the time uvm_swapout
is called

in interrupt controllers in struct pic, and try to keep as much
common code as possible. At the lowest (asm) level, this is done
with CPP macros.
The main structure is now struct intrsource, describing an established
interrupt line, of any kind (soft/hard local apic/legacy apic/IO apic).
For quick masking, there may be a maximum of 32 sources per CPU.
Sources can be assigned to any CPU in the MP case, though currently they
all go to the boot CPU.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)

caveats, but works quite well in a lot of MP cases, and all
UP cases that I have tested. Parts of this will hopefully be
reworked in the not-too-distant future.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
