indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
attaches to the hub, and HID drivers (ums, ukbd, and uhid) attach to
uhidev. The reason for this change is that some HID devices report multiple
components (like a keyboard and a mouse) using the same interface, but with
different report identifiers. The report identifier can be specified with
a locator for the HID drivers.
Furthermore, change the ukbd driver to handle other formats than the boot
protocol.
from the interrupt routine since this will enter the USB interrupt
processing recursively during polling.
Now ukbd can be used as console keyboard for DDB!
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.

is unused in our USB stack.
Once upon a time, when I started writing the USB stack for NetBSD, there
was an effort to make a standard for how USB device drivers should interact
with the rest of the USB stack. This effort had contributors from just
about all Un*x camps (but not Micro$oft :). I based my design on one of their
early proposals since I thought it would be a good idea if we could all
share device drivers with a minimum effort. Shortly after I started my work
all the free Un*x people were thrown out of the USBDI work since we did not
pay the USB membership fee. Well, some time has passed now and the work of
the standardization group is almost public again. But alas, the new standard
has grown to be a monster! I do not want to have this as the basis for the
*BSD USB stack; it is far too complicated.
So, since we are not even close to being compilant with the standard, I've
thrown out some old baggage.
