The advanced stage of computer assisted hardware design and
verification is aptly illustrated by the fact that this is necessary
because only the first ports in a single-chip, dual-port async
PC-Card product lacks this register.
This facilitates the use in circumstances where you are using a serial
console as well. GDB doesn't support anything higher than 9600 baud (19k2
if you are lucky), but the console does.
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

(65536 * 32 - 1), but MAKEDEV only supports up to (32 * 32 -1). Device
names use the unit number in base 32 for all "digits".
This required fixing an old bug in MAKEDEV:ttyminor(). Its arg was the
global $unit instead of $1.

measured accurately for periodic interrupts provided the interrupts
don't need to be serviced very quickly to keep their period almost
constant. sio output interrupts have this property (interrupt service
can be delayed for up to 1 character time without the period changing).
This is non-optional and undocumented so that it can be added and
removed easily. It has no significant effect unless it is enabled by
hacking on a variable using a debugger. Hardclock and statclock interrupts
would work even better for this, at least on i386's, provided their
interrupt handlers are fast (as they are in -current but not in -stable
or in my version of -current).
not removing tabs before "__P((", and not outdenting continuation lines

to put the device into 8 bit mode a second time. This appears to have
no ill effects on other devices, and appears to be necessary for the
xircom modem.

the structure definitions come from NetBSD to make it easier to share card
definitions. The driver only acts as a shim between the pci bus and the
sio driver. Later pci parallel ports could also be supported through this
driver. Support for most single and multiport pci serial cards should be
as simple as adding its definition to pucdata.c
Tested with the following pci cards:
Moxa Industio CP-114, 4 port RS-232,RS-422/485
Syba Tech Ltd. PCI-4S2P-550-ECP, 4 port RS-232 + 2 parallel ports
Netmos NM9835 PCI-2S-550, 2 port RS-232
previous commit, it should always print due to lack of {} around the
second line in the if statement. The message should likely say
something more like "There's no hardware responding at this IRQ.
Device not present (or disbaled)," but that is too long. We generally
don't give elementary advise in device driver messages anyway. Be
that as it may, the problem with it printing all the time should be
corrected.
mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:
The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe. Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer. This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs. Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called. (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)
I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha. I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha
code, so I expect it will work fine. PowerPC and ARM do not yet have
interrupt code in the tree so they shouldn't be broken. Sparc64 is
broken, but that's been ok'd by jake and tmm who will be fixing the
interrupt code for sparc64 shortly.

(1) Don't attempt aquire the non-recursive lock sio_lock recursively.
Doing so caused unbounded recursion in some setups. E.g., if DDB,
BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and WITNESS are configured; if the debugger is
entered using a break, then WITNESS will actually detect the invalid
recursion and will add to it attempting to print a message about it.
(2) Don't use sio_lock before it has been initialized. The old check
(sio_inited != 0) didn't work when sio_inited was boolean because
sio_inited was set too early, and became just wrong when sio_inited
was changed to a tri-state variable in rev.1.348.

see people trip over it. Do not set the FIFO trigger to just before it
would otherwise overflow. Give it a little more slop so characters aren't
lost if the interrupt is delayed by other system activities.

This incorporates most of Bruce's review material. I'm at a good

reviews.
