type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.

- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
- The ihandlers array is now gone. Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
that just contains SWI handlers.
- Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.

newbus for referencing device interrupt handlers.
- Move the 'struct intrec' type which describes interrupt sources into
sys/interrupt.h instead of making it just be a x86 structure.
- Don't create 'ithd' and 'intrec' typedefs, instead, just use 'struct ithd'
and 'struct intrec'
- Move the code to translate new-bus interrupt flags into an interrupt thread
priority out of the x86 nexus code and into a MI ithread_priority()
function in sys/kern/kern_intr.c.
- Remove now-uneeded x86-specific headers from sys/dev/ata/ata-all.c and
sys/pci/pci_compat.c.
Interrupts under the new scheme are managed by the i386 nexus with the
awareness of the resource manager. There is further room for optimizing
the interfaces still. All the users of register_intr()/intr_create()
should be gone, with the exception of pcic and i386/isa/clock.c.
respectively. Most of the longs should probably have been
u_longs, but this changes is just to prevent warnings about
casts between pointers and integers of different sizes, not
to fix poorly chosen types.
`void *' arg. Fixed or hid most of the resulting type mismatches.
Handlers can now be updated locally (except for reworking their
global declarations in isa_device.h).
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.
be (eventually) architecture independent. It provides an emulation
of the ISA interrupt registration function register_intr(), but that
function does no longer manipulated the interrupt controller and
interrupt descriptor table, but calls the architecture dependent
function setup_icu() for that purpose.
After theISA/EISA bus code has been modified to directly call the new
interrupt registartion functions (intr_create() and intr_connect()),
the emulation of register_intr() should be dropped.
The C level interrupt handler function should take a (void*) argument,
and the function pointer type (inthand2_t) should defined in some other
place than isa_device.h.
This commit is a pre-requisite for the removal of the PCI specific shared
interrupt code.
