- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
A fair bit of this, the m68k core dump and exec goo, can probably be
made into a generic m68k hpux module, eventually.
More to be placed in hpux_machdep.c - keep your eyes peeled...
squished into an 8-bit position in a command stream! Which one is wrong?
Changed the constant from 0x140 to 0x40, which is what ended up happening
anyhow. This exists in the old Utah sources, too! How long has this
bug existed?!

binary snapshots only to try it out.

properties such as "M68040" and "M68K_MMU_MOTOROLA", used to conditionally
compile code. This is more in-line with now the other m68k ports do it,
and makes it much easier to find "common ground" among them.
In locore.s, use the MMU-type constants defined my <machine/cpu.h> rather
than "expanded" values.
Because HP300-model names are mapped to CPU/MMU combinations in
<machine/cpu.h>, no change to kernel configuration will be necessary.
allocated, as noticed by Chuck Cranor. In addition to re-arranging
the assignment as suggested by Niklas Hallqvist, check to see if maxproc
is higher than the number of available user PTs. If it is, lower maxproc
to that value, the rationale being that it's much more desirable to have
fork() return EAGAIN than to have your system wedge.
XXX note that root can still raise maxproc with sysctl(2) later. It's
probably worth having further discussion about this issue, but until
everyone has time to think about it, this seems like an acceptable solution
for the time being.
This is a step towards getting the drivers ready for new config.
Clean up namespace, remove several instances of global arrays. Instead,
use a softc to carry state around. Where possible, pass a pointer to
the softc rather than a unit number.
Pointers to hardware and software constructs are now stored per port
in each instance of the softc (one softc per board) rather than indexed
by minor number.

not seen if the system is rebooted with reboot(8). Fixes PR #1455.

be done. Set up a structure filled with function pointers in the
controller-specific probe routines, and jump through them, instead of
if()'ing our way though each operation.
Be a little more discriptive; print out the controller type found
during the probe in a way that's somewhat meaningful.
