was sent to developers, but will eventually become a man page or
something), i noticed a few in various names:
(1) _map and _alloc should take a flags argument, rather than a
'cacheable' boolean.
(2) BUS_BARRIER_* flags should be BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_*.
(3) bus_space_copy_* should be bus_space_copy_region_* for consistency
with other region ops.
Fix all of these (in a backward-compatible way, at least for now). Redefine
internal usees of those names to use the new names. Also, while at it,
clean up the copy functions (remove unnecessary variables) and make sure
that they and other functions conform to the spec.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
common back-ends that live on multiple very-different busses (e.g. PCI and
TC), which need bus-specific DMA mapping support. As a nice side effect,
this will allow the especially nasty (vtophys(va) | 0x40000000) expressions
to go away in favor of less nasty bus-specific function calls.
