linear can be loaded as module. Module is not loaded when there is target
with similar name already. Zero and error targets aresimple examples how
can be all future targets written to support dynamic loading. Target can't
be unloaded until there is at least one user.
Use for the .for variables and substution items - changing the latter from
make's all conquering lst.lib functions.
Being able to index everything makes the code simpler.
No functional changes intended.
Replace Buf_Discard() with Buf_Empty() since the former might leave the
'outPtr != buffer' and the only caller wanted all the data discared.
Remove 'outPtr' now that it always equals 'buffer'.
The assumption about Buf_GetAll()is now guaranteed by design.
It is processed in background to detect ipmi.
Now my ML115 G1 detects ipmi as NetBSD 4_STABLE.
Discussed with Matthias Scheler (tron) with private mail
and approved by him.
- Make MD poffd(8) retire, and use MI powerd(8) instead of it.
- Make /dev/pow1 retire, because nobody holds /dev/pow0 any longer.
Use /dev/pow0 for pow(4) ioctl.
- POWIOCSSIGNAL ioctl which is for poffd(8) is also obsoleted.
in the root of the tree being modified, rather than in the system default
tree. This permits module compat_netbsd32 to initialize its shadow tree
at load time.
Discussed on tech-kern, with no objections.

embedding the address of its xxx_mountroot() in swapnetbsd.c. This
permits booting of kernels with hard-wired filesystem type even if the
filesystem is in a loadable module (ie, not linked into the kernel
image).
Discussed on current-users. Tested on amd64 and i386 with both hard-
wired and '?' filesystem times, and on both modular and monolithic
kernels.
Thanks to pooka@ for code review and suggestions.

the base NetBSD system. It uses Linux LVM2 tools and our BSD licensed
device-mapper driver.
The device-mapper driver can be used to create virtual block devices which
maps virtual blocks to real with target mapping called target. Currently
these targets are available a linear, zero, error and a snapshot (this is
work in progress and doesn't work yet).
The lvm2tools adds lvm and dmsetup binary to based system, where the lvm
tool is used to manage and administer whole LVM and the dmestup is used to
communicate iwith device-mapper kernel driver. With these tools also
a libdevmapper library is instaled to the base system.
Building of tools and driver is currently disable and can be enabled with
MKLVM=yes in mk.conf. I will add sets lists and rc.d script soon.
