build subdirectory. This is not used now that everything is built at the
top of kernel build directory. It will become mandatory for source/object
files put out of kernel source tree to specify corresponding build subdirectory.
Only ``no dots'' relative path is accepted as "buildprefix".
Define MAXUSERS in opt_param.h and include it from sys/param.h, for more
accurate dependency. Don't define -DMAXUSERS and add it to ${CPPFLAGS}.
config(5)'s "maxusers" syntax doesn't change.
(The version just before revert was OK, but I had something bad in my obj
dirs.)
o Introduce a new selection directive "select" to select an attribute (as a
module) and its dependencies.
o Support "no select" too.
o Stop abusing "options" to select an attribute.
o Bump config(1) version.
instead of using struct nvlist.
(struct nvlist holds lists (or trees!) of semi-arbitrary stuff with no
structure and almost no type safety; it should go away.)
(This allows cleaning up when a syntax error occurs, because yacc just
dumps the parser stack on the floor.)
The new logic can handle arbitrary data types instead of being limited
to struct nvlist.
with the also-experimental ioconf keyword. pseudo-root allows to
specify a root at any point in the device tree without having
attachments from the actual root.
For example, instead of having a config file like this:
mainbus0 at root
bus_a? at mainbus0
bus_b? at bus_a*
device7 at bus_b?
You can have one like this:
pseudo-root bus_b*
device7 at bus_b?
This will produce the relevant ioconf.c glue for device number 7
only instead of the whole 9 yards from root. Perhaps needless to
say, this can be used to generate snippets of config glue for
modules and, let's not deny that my main motivation for doing this,
rump components.
This is part 2/3 of my modifications to config (the last part is
autogenerating source file lists and component Makefiles).
No strong objection from cube (after a little pressuring ;), but
like he said, the implementation will most likely need some more
tweaking and may not work correctly under all pseudo-root uses yet.
This is done by giving the "ioconf" keyword in the config file.
As a result, config produces only ioconf.c and locators.h. Currently,
only "monolithic" configurations with the device path starting from
root are supported. Eventually, the goal is to support a local
root in the input file from any point along the device tree using
files.* in our kernel tree. This will make autogenerating the
config glue for device modules possible instead of having to write
it by hand like is currently required (yes, it sounds simple to
implement, but ...).

(the next part will demand major discussions with you, so prepare ;)
ones, mostly network pseudo interfaces) and those which use autoconf
to attach instances dynamically, or to attach child devices.
Use a new keyword "defpseudodev" for the latter.
Issue a warning if interface attributes are used with "old" pseudodevs,
but let it work as before for now. This will be removed soon.

If a default is specified then the option is always defined in the
corresponding .h file.
Particularly useful for parameters where the default action isn't the
same a defining the value zero, given that the current use of #if defined(opt)
is open to problems wehere the relevant .h file isn't actually included, so
requiring an option to always have a value makes sense.
Also included (but commented out) is code that adds a global symbol to
the object file to stop objects compiled with different values for the
same option being linked together - I'm not quite happy with it yet!
