configuration of devices logically attached to the ISA bus:
* Change the isa_attach_args to have arrays of io, mem, irq, drq
resources.
* Add a "pnpnames" and a linked list of "pnpcompatnames" to the
isa_attach_args. If either of these members are non-NULL,
direct configuration of the bus is being performed. Add an
ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() macro to test for this.
* Drivers are not allowed to modify the isa_attach_args unless
direct configuration is not being performed and the probe fucntion
is returning success.
* Adapt device drivers -- currently, all driver probe routines return
"no match" if ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() evaluates to true.
* Rearrange the speed mapping table and adjust the code so that the highest
rate can actually be used. Previously we ended up rounding up slightly
lower speeds and then losing because set_params couldn't set the mode
back to the current one.
* Allow 260 as a valid I/O address, since the SB1 can be jumpered to this.
* Change the MPU-401 code so it can be attached as a separate device.
(XXX Really, the SB code ought to just attach a subdevice itself.)
* Do not attach an OPL on the SB1. Writing to the OPL registers at
SB_base+0 on this card wedges my machine.
(XXX Should we access it at 388 instead? The Creative web site claims
that this board *does* have an OPL2, but I haven't played with this
extensively.)
* Allocate the SB DMA channels at open time, rather than attach time, so
that a single DRQ can be used for multiple cards (if only one is in use
at a given time).
(XXX Let me tell you why this is a horrible hack. If the ISA DMA code
tries to allocate a bounce buffer after boot time, it will generally fail,
because there is no contiguous memory below 16MB and the code to allocate
contiguous pages doesn't know how to move things around. Now, we
shouldn't ever be using bounce buffers here, because we use
isa_dmamem_alloc(). So we just turn off BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW and we don't
actually try to. That's cool, and it even works, but isa_dmamem_alloc()
has the same problem. It just happens that we allocate the ring buffers
at boot time, and whenever we reallocate them (due to the buffer size
changing), we just deallocated the previous (contiguous) buffer, so we get
lucky. This is absolutely disgusting and needs to be fixed.)
* Improve the midisyn layer a little.
* Add a driver for the Yamaha OPL[23] FM synths.
The opl driver is not finished yet; it sounds pretty awful.
For some strange reason I cannot get any FM sound from my SB64 cards,
but a regular SB16 works fine.
two DMA channels to do e.g. full-duplex. This allows
a way of specifying the second channel in a sane way.
THIS IS TEMPORARY. The drq2 locator will go away when
the locator system has been changed to allow multiple
values per locator.
- It is now possible to handle devices that want "looping" DMA,
e.g. the SoundBlaster correctly. The WSS and SB drivers use this.
To do this several new methods were introduced in audio_hw_if.
- Different silence handling (forced by previous change).
- The audio driver can now be mmap()-ed, but due to problems in
the VM system only for writing for now.
- The OSS (Linux) audio emulation takes advantage of some of the
new features.
