timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
the kernel can get a 'protection fault trap' later. Enable the 32 bits I/O
test conditionally on a config flag, disabled by default (problem
reported by kurt.schreiner@uni-mainz.de).
- Don't rely on ATA signature: some ide controllers seems to not transmit it
properly (SIMIDE on arm32 machines). Instead, when we guess a drive is here
after reset, just mark it as ATA and OLD is it's not ATAPI.
- at attach time, use IDENTIFY to eliminate ghost from the probe. If the
drive had the old flag and IDENTIFY failed, issue a WDCC_RECAL command
to detect a pre-ATA disk. If IDENTIFY succeded, remove the OLD flag,
it's obviously not a pre-ATA disk.
- add a new controller flag, WDC_CAPABILITY_PREATA, used to shorcut parts
of the probe (not necessary, but makes the probe/attach faster). This is
only set by the ISA front-end, all other controllers supported can't have
pre-ATA drives attached.
The mechanism used are more or less the same as before, they have just been
reordered. Should solve port-arm32/7324 (waiting for feedback).
an array of fixed-sized channel_softc elements. This way IDE controllers
which more than 1 channel (pciide) can extend the channel data easily
for private needs.
To avoid the double dereference at runtime, change the argument of
wdcstart() to the channel data pointer instead of the array index.
* Fix bug in wdc that would overflow ATAPI transfer length.
* Improve wdc probe code so that 'wdc' is probed in if present
even if there are no drives attached, and so that it works
properly even if the only device is an ATAPI slave.
* bus_space-ify.
* split the ISA attachment from the wdc driver, and remove
ISA dependencies from non-ISA files.
* claim that wd and wdc are now machine-independent (probably not
completely true, but mostly so; they at least work on arm32 and
i386).
* Various other minor fixups and cleanups, some of which were pointed
out by Kazuki Sakamoto.
