77a6b82b27 Merge the gehenna-devsw branch into the trunk.
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.

31144d9976 Convert ioctl code to use EPASSTHROUGH instead of -1 or ENOTTY for
indicating an unhandled "command".  ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion.  ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4.  No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere.  The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.

99bccc3cab - pull in opt_kgdb.h where necessary
- replace opt_kgdb_machdep.h with opt_kgdb.h
- defparam opt_kgdb.h:
	KGDB_DEV KGDB_DEVNAME KGDB_DEVADDR KGDB_DEVRATE KGDB_DEVMODE
- move from opt_ddbparam.h to opt_ddb.h:
	DDB_FROMCONSOLE DDB_ONPANIC DDB_HISTORY_SIZE DDB_BREAK_CHAR SYMTAB_SPACE
- replace KGDBDEV with KGDB_DEV
- replace KGDBADDR with KGDB_DEVADDR
- replace KGDBMODE with KGDB_DEVMODE
- replace KGDBRATE with KGDB_DEVRATE
- use `9600' instead of `0x2580' for 9600 baud rate
- use correct quotes for  options KGDB_DEVNAME="\"com\""
- use correct quotes for  options KGDB_DEV="17*256+0"
- remove unnecessary dependancy on Makefile for kgdb_stub.o
- minor whitespace cleanup

19cf921b2c Support for the PrimeCell PL010 UART. Similar in behaviour to
the normal com driver, but with competely different bit and register
assignments.
