2fe85a6623 Uniformly pass a "struct isdn_l3_driver *" through layer 2, so we
do not have to search for that driver later while we already knew it
at layer 1.

e14f4779db Avoid duplicate expensive lookups by passing a pointer to the call
descriptor/a pointer to the layer 3 state directly to driver functions,
instead of their ID/index.

0db68b667b Now that we have all pieces in place (and enough granularity to specify
B-channel and D-channel drivers separately) split the Fritz!PCI card
driver out of the isic driver.

The new device is called "ifpci" and uses the same D-channel driver as the
isic devices, but has it's own B-channel driver.

909e313a80 Remove a leftover from the BRI registry at layer 2.
Initialize layer 2's idea of it's BRI id after attaching.

0bc69b6498 Now that we have all the pieces of the puzzle available start to unriddle
and move them in their proper places.

Move the BRI registry from layer 2 (duh!) to layer 4, so active cards
(which don't have layer 3 or layer 2 in their driver). Remove all remaining
hard coded controller and driver types. Remove any arbitrary hard coded
limits, at least those that show up in the internal API.

This fixes PR 15950.

5171d409a5 First step to cleanup the hardware driver <-> upper layers interface.
This now provides slightly more functionality than the FreeBSD layer1-newbus
interface. It was meant to be a simple change to one header and a few
c files, but the change rippled all through various stuff.

To prevent a change to the kernel<->userland interface right now the kernel
is now lying about card types to userland (but who cares). This will be fixed
when the userland interface changes, after layer 3 <-> layer 4 has been
fixed.

Functional changes:

Provide a clean interface for hardware drivers to attach to the upper
layers. This will need another small change in the B-channel handling
when a similar change to the layer 3 <-> layer 4 interface happens.

Avoid passing indices into global arrays of pointers around, instead pass
the pointers itself. Don't code hardware driver types by predefined magic
numbers (think LKM). Prepare for detachable drivers (think pcmcia).

While there remove some sets of function pointers always pointing to the
same function (meant to be the configurable set of D channel protocol
handlers). It is unlikely another supported D-channel protocol will fit into
that (maximal layer interface) abstraction. When we get support for another
protocol, we will need to come up with a workable interface. Besides, the
old implementation was, uhm, strange.
