NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

ACPI or for when ACPI support is disabled or not present in the kernel.
Basically, the nexus device is now split into two with some parts
(such as adding default ISA, MCA, and EISA busses if they aren't found
as well as support for PCI bus device ivars) being moved to the legacy
driver.
i4bq931, i4b, isic, iwic, ifpi, ifpi2, ifpnp, ihfc, and itjc are
no longer count devices. Also remove a few other instances of N<DEVICE>
being used to control compilation of whole files.

disablement assumptions in kern_fork.c by adding another API call,
cpu_critical_fork_exit(). Cleanup the td_savecrit field by moving it
from MI to MD. Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from <arch>/include/cpufunc.h
to <arch>/<arch>/critical.c (stage-2 will clean this up).
Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain
enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug,
and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement.
This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized,
and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things.
This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways. This should
be temporary.

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
npx is no more mandatory than sc. Its mandatoryness went away in
rev.1.226 of i386/machdep.c 9 months before it was made mandatory in
rev.1.24 of config/mkmakefile.c.
This change is mainly to test building of minimal kernel configurations.
npx should really be even more standard than clk. It was optional mainly
so that the usual device driver configuration info could be specified in
the usual way in config files, but this hasn't been necessary for a few
years.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

This emulates APM device node interface APIs (mainly ioctl) and
provides APM services for the applications. The goal is to support
most of APM applications without any changes.
Implemented ioctls in this commit are:
- APMIO_SUSPEND (mapped ACPI S3 as default but changable by sysctl)
- APMIO_STANDBY (mapped ACPI S1 as default but changable by sysctl)
- APMIO_GETINFO and APMIO_GETINFO_OLD
- APMIO_GETPWSTATUS
With above, many APM applications which get batteries, ac-line
info. and transition the system into suspend/standby mode (such as
wmapm, xbatt) should work with ACPI enabled kernel (if ACPI works well :-)

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

Move sio from isa/sio.c to dev/sio/sio.c. The next step is to break
out the front end attachments, improve support for these parts on
different busses, and maybe, if we're lucky, merging in pc98 support.
It will also be MI and live in conf/files rather than files.*.
