- disk_unbusy() gets a new parameter to tell the IO direction.
- struct disk_sysctl gets 4 new members for read/write bytes/transfers.
when processing hw.diskstats, add the read&write bytes/transfers for
the old combined stats to attempt to keep backwards compatibility.
unfortunately, due to multiple bugs, this will cause new kernels and old
vmstat/iostat/systat programs to fail. however, the next time this is
change it will not fail again.
this is just the kernel portion.
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)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
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.
One basic struct, a function to setup a queue with a specific strategy and
three macros to put buf's into the queue, get and remove the next buf or
get the next buf without removal.
The BUFQ_XXX interface will be removed in the future.
The B_ORDERED flag is not longer supported.

- move some functions from ata.c to ata_wdc.c or wdc.c.
- add callbacks to struct ata_bustype so that wd.c doesn't call directly
functions from the lower level driver.
kill ata_atapi_attach. Change atapibus to use a struct scsipi_channel instead
of ata_atapi_attach as attach arch. Create a ata_device, compatible with
scsipi_channel, to attach wd.
the number of partitions is > OLDMAXPARTITIONS. This is better
than silently truncating the label (don't want to silently throw
away partitions when using an old disklabel binary on a label with
> 8 partitions). From Enami Tsugutomo.
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.
In wdc_probe_caps() add code to guess the ATA revision supported (if
ATA4 if Ultra-DMA, ATA2 if PIO mode > 2). We can't rely on param.atap_ata_major
here, at last one Ultra-DMA drive claims to support only ATA-3.
Use the ATA version in ata_perror(), and to try a flush cache command
in a shutdown hook for IDE drives.
device registers should be read back into the wdc_command structure after
successfull command completion. Use this this in wdioctl() for
ATAIOCCOMMAND.
