- Since the pci_read_handler() method is identical in most devices, move it
to the base class to reduce code duplication. Only the 'pcidev' device has
it's own implementation (NOTE: it is not maintained yet).
- Minor other fixes and cleanups in some PCI devices.
- bx_param_string_c method isempty() didn't work for raw byte strings. Now using
it to check whether or not the current value matches the initial one. The
parameter handling of the network adapters now use this method to check if
the MAC address is already initialized to avoid incorrect BX_ERRORs.
- small documentation update
usb device plugins. Loading the plugin means that the user wants to enable it.
Disabling the device on the command line and in the config interface is still
possible.
- isempty() returns 1 if string length is 0 or string has special value "none"
- sprint() copies the formatted / converted string into a buffer
- use new methods in some parts of the code (TODO: win32 dialogs)
- check for the special value "none" to avoid failures
- fixed bochsrc line after a "raw byte" string parameter
- changed parameter name "macaddr" to "mac" (same as bochsrc option parameter)
- skip disabled parameters when building the bochsrc line
- added "multiline" switch to select the output format (one or multiple lines)
- renamed siminterface method and use it in the network devices code
- SIM->opt_plugin_ctrl() now can be used to verify the optional plugin
configuration when using the plugin name "*". The 'load' value 1 makes
sure that all plugins with the value 1 are loaded. The 'load' value 0
unloads all plugin with the value 0 (marked for removal).
- add the default set of plugins to the 'plugin_ctrl' list and load all these
pre-defined optional plugins before parsing the configuration.
- special wx case: verify plugin configuration before showing the plugin
control dialog and before initialising hardware.
- device plugins that have been loaded, but not configured now set their
plugin control value to 0. Added the plugin unload check before signalling reset.
