layers. Common middle layer shared by kbd_zs and sunkbd is moved into
the new file. Move shared config directives to files.sun and adjust
ports' files.* accordingly.
Need this to support console/Xsun on Mr.Coffee JavaStation.
Tested on sparc, sparc64 (by martin) and sun3 (by jdc).
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.
to be more generic than ``bbinfo definitions for Sun-based systems''.
Other platforms can store bbinfo-style information here, and possibly
other platform-specific boot information that needs to be accessible
by foriegn platforms in tools such as /usr/sbin/installboot.
saves about 2.2MB under /usr/include/dev/. Discussed on tech-kern@
recently.
I HOPE to get the list right. The headers I left in are ones
used for MI tools and those whose usage I discovered by grep over tree sources.
Feel free to put needed includes back in if you encounter anything which
should not be removed from lists.
