it more rich: reinstate debug options (commented out), add a bunch of
MI options, file systems, pseudo devices (commented out), sort some
entries, add more comments and clean up existing comments.
While here, do some cosmetic changes:
* sort PCMCIA network interfaces section.
* ksyms is not a wscons related pseudo device, so move it to misc.
* line up scif at shb line, and move related options to be after it.
which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.
Follows recent discussion on tech-kern@
sections into it. This also ensures that sections, not mentioned in
the linker script (currenty - link_set_*), end up in the correct
place. Otherwise kernel panics very early, trying to access link_set
info.
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.
