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.
Argh, why is a fuction from the RetinaZ2 console driver in the console
driver for the RetinaZ3 ? Fixed.
Fixed some warnings from -Wall if you don't use -DDEBUG
- Added support for multiple floppy drives
- CyberVision64:
- has now a real console mode
- another bugfix for boards with the new S3 chip
- Ariadne:
- fixed crashes with aeput (mbuf failure)
option RETINA_SPEED_HACK. Old commented code has been resurected.
This reportedly fixes the smear problems some retinas have.
John Vrolijk <dsnjvro@etmsun.etm.ericsson.se> noticed this.
amiga goes: config.new *and* /sys/scsi.
clock code coerced into a single .c file adding an accurate usec delay().
disklabel.c updated to DTRT, code to write RDB's to be added soon.
sbic (old scsi) converted over to new scsi and config this covers about
90% of users. Other drivers soon.
- realtime clock support for a2k and a3k
- scsi drivers for a2091 and gvp-II controllers in a2k
- working ethernet driver for a2065/ameristar lance-controllers
