that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.
This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX. This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.
to a softc, rather than a unit number. Add a "dq_softc" member
to struct devqueue; this is a temporary measure until the
dma/controller/device callback spaghetti is untangled.
YAY! No more need for dcafastservice!
HIL: squish instances of "(void) splhil()" and "(void) spl0();".
