front-ends. Unfortunately, because of the way ISA and PCI are currently
probed, if you have a PCI VGA board in your machine and both drivers
in your kernel, the ISA VGA driver may accidentally match the PCI board.
For now, the only solution to this is to not put both drivers in
the GENERIC kernels.
Earlier, we re-complained about excessive token losses about once a minute.
However, on small ARCnet networks, the token will also be lost if only one
station (us) is active (ifconfig'd down interfaces don't take place in the
token exchange), and our syslog would be filled with repeated messages about
this condition.
Our new code only complains once, starts a timeout() each time a token
regeneration is reported by the chip, and generates a log message about
the regenerated token if it was stable for 15 seconds.
buffer out of the hardware (it is invalid!).
This fixes hangups due to spurious rx interupts.
XXX Maybe I should completely reset the hardware in this case?
- New variables: biosextmem, biosbasemem, nkpde
- Above can be set by using the options BIOSEXTMEM, BIOSBASEMEM,
and NKPDE respectively (EXTMEM_SIZE is now called BIOSEXTMEM).
When preset this way, they won't be filled in / calculated.
- Readable by sysctl using machdep.nkpde, machdep.biosbasemem
and machdep.biosextmem.
- nkpde is calculated as:
min(NKPDE_MAX, NKPDE_BASE + (biosextmem >> 10) * NKPDE_SCALE)
Where NKPDE_MAX is 31, NKPDE_BASE is 4, NKPDE_SCALE = 1.
We test this condition AFTER the interupt condition, because it is only
disabled during autoconfiguration.
Without this patch, if autoconfiguration takes long enough, eventually a
timer interupt will call hardclock() and panic the machine.

documentation I have.
is set in the RPB's rpb_variation field. This fixes a bug where machines
(e.g. the 3000/900) would see that they could touch memory where a built-in
PMAGB-BA, assume that it was there, and panic later because the memory they
were accessing didn't look like PMAGB-BA registers (because it wasn't).
