the LKM.
While there, rename 'rval' as 'pn_family', and make it a global variable.
The k[78]_powernow_destroy() functions have never been called because of
that...
The problem was that pnowk7_init() was called too early in the boot
process, at this point the required calls were not available.
Thanks to Rhialto for testing and cube/christos for comments.
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.
kernel's ${NORMAL_S}. In particular, we need the ${CPPFLAGS} from
<bsd.kmod.mk> to support non-self-hosted builds. (Changing iwm.s to iwm.S
would also work.)
