The type of bus_space_tag_t is now a pointer to bus_space_tag structure,
and the bus_space_tag structure saves pointers to functions for direct
access and relocate access.
Added bsh_bam member to the bus_space_handle structure, it saves access
method either direct access or relocate access which is called by
bus_space_* functions.
Added the mecia device support. If the bs_da and bs_ra in bus tag are set
NEPC_io_space_tag and NEPC_mem_space_tag respectively, new bus_space stuff
changes the register of mecia automatically for 16bit access.

# I have a fully converted on a disk that may be crashed. If it is
# crashed, I'll redo the work.
- Replace some very poorly thought out API hacks that should have been
fixed a long while ago.
- Provide some much more flexible search functions (resource_find_*())
- Use strings for storage instead of an outgrowth of the rather
inconvenient temporary ioconf table from config(). We already had a
fallback to using strings before malloc/vm was running anyway.
reducues the maintenance load for the mutex code. The only MD portions
of the mutex code are in machine/mutex.h now, which include the assembly
macros for handling mutexes as well as optionally overriding the mutex
micro-operations. For example, we use optimized micro-ops on the x86
platform #ifndef I386_CPU.
- Change the behavior of the SMP_DEBUG kernel option. In the new code,
mtx_assert() only depends on INVARIANTS, allowing other kernel developers
to have working mutex assertiions without having to include all of the
mutex debugging code. The SMP_DEBUG kernel option has been renamed to
MUTEX_DEBUG and now just controls extra mutex debugging code.
- Abolish the ugly mtx_f hack. Instead, we dynamically allocate
seperate mtx_debug structures on the fly in mtx_init, except for mutexes
that are initiated very early in the boot process. These mutexes
are declared using a special MUTEX_DECLARE() macro, and use a new
flag MTX_COLD when calling mtx_init. This is still somewhat hackish,
but it is less evil than the mtx_f filler struct, and the mtx struct is
now the same size with and without mutex debugging code.
- Add some micro-micro-operation macros for doing the actual atomic
operations on the mutex mtx_lock field to make it easier for other archs
to override/optimize mutex ops if needed. These new tiny ops also clean
up the code in some places by replacing long atomic operation function
calls that spanned 2-3 lines with a short 1-line macro call.
- Don't call mi_switch() from mtx_enter_hard() when we block while trying
to obtain a sleep mutex. Calling mi_switch() would bogusly release
Giant before switching to the next process. Instead, inline most of the
code from mi_switch() in the mtx_enter_hard() function. Note that when
we finally kill Giant we can back this out and go back to calling
mi_switch().
platforms.
While here, work around a strange quirk in config(8) that I do not yet
understand. Rearrange which atapi* files have 'optional' vs. 'count'
so that you can have atapifd without atapicd. The only difference should
be that this works instead of having a link error because atapi-all.o got
left out of the kernel.

drivers (again). These drivers have not compiled for 5-6 months.
Now that the new sound code supports MIDI, the major reason we had for
reviving it is gone. It is a far better investment polishing the new
midi code than trying to keep this on life support. Come 5.0-REL, if
there are major shortcomings in the pcm sound driver then maybe we can
rethink this, but until then we should focus on pcm.
Remember, these have not been compilable since ~April-May this year.
include:
* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).
