FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
Fix the SCIOCGETDEVINFO code so that it compiles, and while I'm at it,
add support for human-readable device names so that I don't have
to call devname(3) on the scd->dev to get it.
to look up information about that device. Right now, all it does
is give back the dev_t for the device, if known, since that's all
I needed, but hopefully the SCSI mavens will come up with a more generally
useful structure.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Added CONTROL device that only does user-ioctl and nothing else;
Added protection so user-ioctl requires write access;
Clean up scsiconf.h a little. It needs more work.
Reenabled "SCIOCOMAND" ioctl.
Restructured so low level drivers can easily request retries.
Added preliminary fixed SCSI devices (should be revisited before 2.1)
Added "ssc" device that can have its' (HBA, ID, LUN) set via ioctl.
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.
