remove their 'integrate' (usually defined to be 'static') keywords.
when lance drivers are split up by attachment, more than one file will
reference the copy/zero functions (i.e. not just the file that pulls in
am7990.c... and eventually inclusion of am7990.c should go away entirely).
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
(the xd bugs also apply to the xy driver...)
[1] check return value from malloc() for NULL before trying to bzero it.
[2] use "=" rather than "|=" when writing to CSR (otherwise you may
ACK something you don't mean to!).

- moved disk_busy() call from xdstrategy() to xdc_startbuf()
[prevents disk_unbusy panic when disk is loaded (if no
free IOPBs, xdstrategy() would queue the buffer for pickup
by xdcintr() but xdcintr() would never call disk_busy().
xdc_startbuf() is a better place since all bufs are routed
through here] problem detected by girish@dworkin.wustl.edu,
diagnosed and corrected by me.
- move disk_unbusy() call in xdc_remove_iorq() before the call to
XDC_FREE() [don't want to access a data structure that was just put
on a free list]
- 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.
Does DMA with interrupts. Much faster than our old
driver which did only PIO transfers. (Thanks David!)
Could be used on the amiga, and probably others...
