"void *", and do the extra de-reference directly in the function. this
avoids having to cast dozens of different types to "void **", which sets
of GCC3's strict-aliasing. testing by martin@
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.
as (CPU_ISSUN4 || CPU_ISSUN4C) and (CPU_ISSUN4C || CPU_ISSUN4M),
respectively. The compiler can still optimize as desired by expressing
them this way, and it simplifies adding new tests.
While here, just remove CPU_ISSUN4MOR4U; it's not used by anything.
