- 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.
"struct pmax_device" to avoid conflict with <sys/device.h>.
Change the signature of interrupt-handlers to take a void *
(a pointer to the softc) and return an int (indicating spurious
interrupts or other conditions.)
to have the same interface as native readdisklabel(), call it cleanly
from caller of readdisklabel(), and fix bug that left d_npartitions at 1
for ultrix-compat labels. Ultrix labels now actually work.
