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.
* Pull in dev/mii/files.mii from conf/files, rather than playing
the magic "files include order" dance in N machine-dependent
configuration definitions.
not support a value (e.g., it's to be used as "options FOO" instead of
"options FOO=xxx"). options that take a value were converted to
defparam recently.
- minor whitespace & formatting cleanups
as config(8) will warn for value-less defparam options
- minor whitespace/formatting cleanup
- consolidate opt_tcp_recvspace.h and opt_tcp_sendspace.h into opt_tcp_space.h
untested, since I have no P-4032 board, but it's no worse than
the current situation, which is "totally non-working P-4032
support in the ARC port, of all places".
support the P-5064, which has a QED RM5xxx CPU soldered on.
There is some skeletal support for the P-4032 (an older board, which
had an R4xxx CPU). There are some placeholders for the P-6032, which
is their newest board, but no real code yet (the P-6032 has a different
PCI controller, the Algorithmics BONITO).
There are still some (apprently softintr-related) problems with the
algor kernel, but it works well-enough to self-host.
Kudos to Allegro Networks for loaning me a P-5064 board on which to do
the port.
