as the Shark's CS8900 Ethernet, which want to use the DMA controller in
this mode (as opposed to single mode).
[Editor's note: committed from a Shark using a new bus_dma back-end
and a CS8900 driver converted to use the MI code :-]
-display DEC special graphics and DEC technical characters as far as
possible
-implement the font switching controls (need documentation!)
-behave well if double-width characters are requested
-simplify the state machine: store CSI command modifiers in variables
instead of dedicating own states to each of them
which contain 'standard' com- and lpt-type ports. Some of these present
as PCI simple-communications/serial or simple-communications/parallel
devices, but many do not. (Additionally, there is no document that I can
find that describes the "specific well-konwn register-level" description
of how the 'standard' devices' config space headers shold work.) Eventually,
some of the devices driven by this code should become simple pci attachments
for the 'lpt' and 'com' drivers, but that requires solid documentation.
the BAR-printing function to print a name for the register, factor out
a common register-bits function which can handle the fact that type 2
headers have a different size than is usual, and actually do something
useful with the rest of the bits in the type 2 header.
Before, the probe routine (mcd_find() would succeed even if the probe
code thought it had a response, but didn't recognize the ID-code byte.
Now, only do the promiscuous match if MCD_PROMISC is configured.
- Don't enable interrupts on attach time; we don't have to
- Don't assume that because a card has a cfe entry that matches one
of the standard com ports, is a modem; my floppy was recognized as
a modem! Require a match of the cis strings against *[Mm][Oo][Dd][Ee][Mm]*
- Print things in order so that we don't mess up the output with un-needed
newlines
- Using an array of cis identifiers to find e modem should not use the
function number; it is not reliable. For example 3c562[A-D] are different
Maybe this can go away altogether and print parts of the cis strings
to take a single character at a time, where the character is an "int" now.
The old interface (took a string) was never called with more than 1
char to print, and the "int" allows us to handle charsets cleanly.
It should be able to parse escape sequences up to VT300, but not everything
is implemented. Most notably, there is no font handling - all displayable
characters are handed to the graphics driver. To solve this, a serious
interface change to the graphics driver is needed (Unicode?).
