kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
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.
-Free AGP memory on close, to avoid a memory leak in case
the X server doesn't free it explicitely.
(It appears that the X server never calls AGPIOC_DEALLOCATE.)
Fixes PR kern/17869 by Emmanuel Dreyfus.
device (rather, the device that carries that attribute) also
carry one or more attributes indicating which type of controller
it might be.
This will allow systems that might have AGP, but would never have
e.g. an Intel PCI-Host bridge, to trim out code that won't be used.
-allocate space for DMA segments as much as necessary
-fix format warnings in a debug output
-don't try to access AGP capability stuff in the PCI config header
if it doesn't exist (as on the i810)
