Makes the whole concept useless. This is for default printouts. If you
can build a debug kernel, you know what version you have. This was under
the concept of 'RAS' so that hapless users could tell you microversion
things. But I guess this isn't the right way according to our local
Jesuits. Oh, well. I'll think up something different and hopefully
less objectionable. And yes, NetBSD isn't linux. The developers seem
to be equally bad tempered, but linux is more successful.
Part B:
Field interrupts in OS layer so that (in this OS) bus_dmamap_sync(POSTREAD)
can (formally) ensure that the result queue is stable wrt to buffering
and that for sending a command a bus_dmamap_sync(PREWRITE) is done to
ensure that the device gets a good view of what the mailbox contents
should be.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
able to read SXP registers (instead of panicing). Probably have done a bit
of setup overkill- we now alloc some scratch memory for the 2100 that I thought
I would need for the Port database, but so far I haven't needed to retrieve
the port database. Well, early days yet.
