the attach/detach to
1) MOD_LOAD before attach
2) MOD_UNLOAD after detach
The driver specific event handler can now be used to function as
driver specific init/deinit function (compare to device specific
init/deinit functions: attach & detach).
stuff: unregister_methods() is horribly broken. The idea, if I'm not mistaken,
is that the refcount on a method is decremented, and only when it reaches
zero is the method freed. However desc->method is set to NULL unconditionally
regardless of the refcount, which means the method pointer is trashed the
first time the method is deallocated. The obvious detrimental effect is
that memory is leaked. The not so obvious effect is that when you call
unregister_method() the second time on the same method, you get a NULL
pointer dereference and a panic.
Now I can successfully unload network device drivers and the miibus module
without crashing the system.
*sigh*
- device_print_child() either lets the BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method produce the entire device announcement message or
it prints "foo0: not found\n"
Alter sys/kern/subr_bus.c:bus_generic_print_child() to take on
the previous behavior of device_print_child() (printing the
"foo0: <FooDevice 1.1>" bit of the announce message.)
Provide bus_print_child_header() and bus_print_child_footer()
to actually print the output for bus_generic_print_child().
These functions should be used whenever possible (unless you can
just use bus_generic_print_child())
The BUS_PRINT_CHILD method now returns int instead of void.
Modify everything else that defines or uses a BUS_PRINT_CHILD
method to comply with the above changes.
- Devices are 'on' a bus, not 'at' it.
- If a custom BUS_PRINT_CHILD method does the same thing
as bus_generic_print_child(), use bus_generic_print_child()
- Use device_get_nameunit() instead of both
device_get_name() and device_get_unit()
- All BUS_PRINT_CHILD methods return the number of
characters output.

* Allow the interface to specify a default implementation for methods.
* Allow 'static' methods which are not device specific.
* Add a simple scheme for probe routines to return a priority value. To
make life simple, priority values are negative numbers (positive numbers
are standard errno codes) with zero being the highest priority. The
driver which returns the highest priority will be chosen for the device.
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
Approved by: core
* bus_setup_intr() as a wrapper for BUS_SETUP_INTR
* bus_teardown_intr() as a wrapper for BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
* device_get_nameunit() which returns e.g. "foo0" for name "foo" and unit 0.
* device_set_desc_copy() malloc a copy of the description string.
* device_quiet(), device_is_quiet(), device_verbose() suppress probe message.
Add one method to the BUS interface, BUS_CHILD_DETACHED() which is called
after the child has been detached to allow the bus to clean up any memory
which it allocated on behalf of the child.
I also fixed a bug which corrupted the list of drivers in a devclass if
a driver was added to more than one devclass.
* A function device_printf() to make pretty-printing driver messages easier.
* A function device_get_children() to query the children of a device.
* Generic implementations of BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE and BUS_RELEASE_RESOURCE.
* Change bus_generic_print_child() so that it is actually useful.
This is odd, especially in the case of USB where the driver is found
in several tries: vendor specific, class specific, interface specific.
The mouse driver is found at the interface specific level...

- Interface wth the new resource manager.
- Allow for multiple drivers implementing a single devclass.
- Remove ordering dependencies between header files.
- Style cleanup.
- Add DEVICE_SUSPEND and DEVICE_RESUME methods.
- Move to a single-phase interrupt setup scheme.
Kernel builds on the Alpha are brken until Doug gets a chance to incorporate

Agreed to in principle by: dfr
* Eliminate bus_t and make it possible for all devices to have
attached children.
* Support dynamically extendable interfaces for drivers to replace
both the function pointers in driver_t and bus_ops_t (which has been
removed entirely. Two system defined interfaces have been defined,
'device' which is mandatory for all devices and 'bus' which is
recommended for all devices which support attached children.
* In addition, the alpha port defines two simple interfaces 'clock'
for attaching various real time clocks to the system and 'mcclock'
for the many different variations of mc146818 clocks which can be
attached to different alpha platforms. This eliminates two more
function pointer tables in favour of the generic method dispatch
system provided by the device framework.
Future device interfaces may include:
* cdev and bdev interfaces for devfs to use in replacement for specfs
and the fixed interfaces bdevsw and cdevsw.
* scsi interface to replace struct scsi_adapter (not sure how this
works in CAM but I imagine there is something similar there).
* various tailored interfaces for different bus types such as pci,
isa, pccard etc.

development and testing was done using SimOS (see

port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
