This adds support for EtherExpress/16 cards with 16k of RAM, and in the
process adds general support for PIO mode on these cards. This entails
changing the way the i82586 driver handles bus barriers, since it doesn't
allow for strange cases like this.
This has been tested on the i386 port with the 'ix' driver in both
16KB (which was the source of the problem) and 32KB modes, as well
as with the 'ef' driver. I've tested it (briefly) with 'ei' on arm26
as well. In theory, drivers other than 'ix' should follow precisely the
same code paths as before.
Currently, the major onboard devices are supported (disk, network,
rs232 and VMEbus). However, work is still need to support the remaining
devices (eg. IndustryPack sites).
These boards are available with a dazzling array of build options. At
this time, the following options are *required*:
o Real floating point hardware (the 68LC040 model isn't tested),
o The VMEchip2 must be present,
o If offboard VMEbus RAM is not present, at least 8MB of onboard
RAM is required.
o Even if offboard VMEbus RAM *is* present, at least 4MB of onboard
RAM is required. (Boards with 1 or 2MB onboard RAM *can* be
supported with offboard RAM, but not without some funky values in
the VMEbus Master mapping registers.)
There is no support for boards other than those in the -LX 200/300 series.
These changes add support for:
o The MI VMEbus framework on both MVME147 and MVME167.
o Enhancements to the existing MD bus_space(9) implementation.
o Most of the bus_dma(9) API.
