ethernet controllers based on the AIC-6915 "Starfire" controller chip.
There are single port, dual port and quad port cards, plus one 100baseFX
card. All are 64-bit PCI devices, except one single port model.
The Starfire would be a very nice chip were it not for the fact that
receive buffers have to be longword aligned. This requires buffer
copying in order to achieve proper payload alignment on the alpha.
Payload alignment is enforced on both the alpha and x86 platforms.
The Starfire has several different DMA descriptor formats and transfer
mechanisms. This driver uses frame descriptors for transmission which
can address up to 14 packet fragments, and a single fragment descriptor
for receive. It also uses the producer/consumer model and completion
queues for both transmit and receive. The transmit ring has 128
descriptors and the receive ring has 256.
This driver supports both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/alpha, and uses newbus
so that it can be compiled as a loadable kernel module. Support for BPF
and hardware multicast filtering is included.
- Split syscons source code into manageable chunks and reorganize
some of complicated functions.
- Many static variables are moved to the softc structure.
- Added a new key function, PREV. When this key is pressed, the vty
immediately before the current vty will become foreground. Analogue
to PREV, which is usually assigned to the PrntScrn key.

- Modified the kernel console input function sccngetc() so that it
handles function keys properly.
- Reorganized the screen update routine.
- VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more
robust than before.
- Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the
APM resume event directly.
- New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING,
SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE.
Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is
reduced.
SC_PIXEL_MODE
Made the VESA 800x600 mode an option, rather than a standard part of
syscons.
SC_DISABLE_DDBKEY
Disables the `debug' key combination.
SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE
Inverse the character cell at the mouse cursor position in the text
console, rather than drawing an arrow on the screen.

SC_DFLT_FONT
makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_"
Include the named font as the default font of syscons. 16-line,
14-line and 8-line font data will be compiled in. This option replaces
the existing STD8X16FONT option, which loads 16-line font data only.
- The VGA driver is split into /sys/dev/fb/vga.c and /sys/isa/vga_isa.c.
- The video driver provides a set of ioctl commands to manipulate the
frame buffer.
- New kernel configuration option: VGA_WIDTH90
Enables 90 column modes: 90x25, 90x30, 90x43, 90x50, 90x60. These
modes are mot always supported by the video card.

- The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now
split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h
(another new file). machine/console.h is still maintained for
compatibility reasons.
- Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and
slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between
the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console
(sio) again, as it was in 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1.
- Screen savers and splash screen decoders
Because of the header file reorganization described above, screen
savers and splash screen decoders are slightly modified. After this
update, /sys/modules/syscons/saver.h is no longer necessary and is
removed.

The old VN device broke in -4.x when the definition of B_PAGING

The new VN device can be backed by a file ( as per normal ), or it can
be directly backed by swap.
Due to dependencies in VM include files (on opt_xxx options) the new
vn device cannot be a module yet. This will be fixed in a later commit.

they get linked to target libraries which might not work. Cases
where the host can run the target's static libraries are "fixed"

Because of the changes, you are required to update your kernel

The files in sys/dev/syscons are still i386-specific (but less so than
before), and won't compile for alpha and PC98 yet.
syscons still directly accesses the video card registers here and

Change the ELF registration/unregistration scheme to be less error prone.

The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names:

The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.
vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.

- Don't fill the entire screen with blank char every time the saver is
called. Blank only the part of the screen where the daemon and the
text was previously printed.
PPP_DEFLATE options... The code uses #if defined(PPP_DEFLATE) etc, so the
original method of "#define PPP_DEFLATE 0" did not actually disable
anything. It was not possible to configure out bsdcomp or zlib
compression. Also, join the settings for PPP_FILTER and NBPFILTER together
since they are related here (can't have PPP_FILTER without NBPFILTER).
savers are also modified so that they behave in the same way as the
blank saver on MDA and CGA, although it's not the way these screen
savers are supposed to work, but fading monitor and tickling green
monitor cannot be done on MDA and CGA, AFAIK. So, this is the second
best solution.
As of this change, the current state of support of screen savers is
summarized in the following table.
MDA CGA EGA VGA
blank OK OK NA OK
daemon OK OK OK OK
fade * * NA OK
green * * NA OK
snake OK OK OK OK
star OK OK OK OK
OK: works
NA: doesn't work, the module cannot be loaded for this adapter.
*: behave the same way as the blank saver.
As you can see, EGA is left out for now. But, we can do no better, as
EGA registers cannot be read...

facilitate the new saver loading/unloading notification interface

daemon_saver:
- M_NOWAIT was wrong, since NULL returns are not handled. Just use
M_WAITOK.
- use `ostype' instead of hard-coded "FreeBSD". Now there is no more
hard-coded string! (But, who will run this screen saver on other
OS?!)
- put macros and data declarations in a consistent order.
- -DDEAMON_ONLY and -DSHOW_HOSTNAME options added in the previous commit
are removed. Options of this kind can go stale and no one notices
because no one uses them. DEAMON_ONLY is just removed. SHOW_HOSTNAME
is made default.
snake_saver:
- use `ostype' and `osrelease' as in the daemon saver. The string changes
slightly - there was a hyphen after "FreeBSD"; now there is a space.
(It is consistent with uname -a, like the daemon server already is.)
all screen savers:
- Use the new add_scrn_saver()/remove_scrn_saver() in syscons.c
to declare loading/unloading of a screen saver. Removed reference
to `current_saver' and the variable `old_saver' as they are not
necessary anymore.
- The blank, fade and green screen savers manipulate VGA registers.
Module loading should fail for non-VGA cards.
- `scrn_blanked' is consistently treated as a number/counter rather
than boolean.
- Some savers touch `scp->start' and `scp->end' to force entire screen
update when stopping themselves. This is unnecessary now because
syscons.c takes care of that.
- cleared up many unused or unnecessary #include statements.
- Removed -DLKM from Makefiles.

Use the name argument almost the same in all LKM types. Maintain

Change the DISPATCH macro to MOD_DISPATCH for consistency with the

Add an LKM_ANON #define to eliminate the magic -1 and associated

Add MOD_PRIVATE to support wcd.c's poking around in the lkm structure.
