device in /dev/ create symbolic link with adY name, trying to mimic old ATA
numbering. Imitation is not complete, but should be enough in most cases to
mount file systems without touching /etc/fstab.
- To know what behavior to mimic, restore ATA_STATIC_ID option in cases
where it was present before.
- Add some more details to UPDATING.
stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers are disabled and replaced by
respective CAM drivers. If you are using ATA device names in /etc/fstab or
other places, make sure to update them respectively (adX -> adaY,
acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, where 'Y's are the sequential
numbers for each type in order of detection, unless configured otherwise
with tunables, see cam(4)).
ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool
for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX.
Introduce the AHB glue for Atheros embedded systems. Right now it's
hard-coded for the AR9130 chip whose support isn't yet in this HAL;
it'll be added in a subsequent commit.
Kernel configuration files now need both 'ath' and 'ath_pci' devices; both
modules need to be loaded for the ath device to work.
quite right and hasn't been used in ages and is likely broken. QEMU
with GUMSTIX is a more promising road to FreeBSD/arm in emulation
anyway.

The external gpio pins are connected to a PLD on the i2c bus, unfortunatley
this device does not conform by failing to send an ack after each byte written.
The iicbb driver will abort the transfer when the address is not ack'd and it
would introduce a lot of churn to be able to pass a flag down to
iicbb_start/iicbb_write. Instead we do bad things by grabbing the iicbus but
then doing our own bit banging.
actually 16 I/O lines but the other ones are used for system devices and
interrupts.
The IXP4XX platform can set interrupts on these pins for
high/low/rising/falling/transitional but this is not implemented yet.
The Cambria has the same interface but as all the pins are assigned to system
functions the gpio header is toggled via a PLD on the i2c bus and is not
supported by this commit.
Seagate FreeAgent DockStar(tm) device. It seems to be a dumb down
version of Marvell SheevaPlug. Device tree source file could use
more tweaking, but at least it wll network boot and run FreeBSD/arm.
The following systems are involved:
- DB-88F5182
- DB-88F5281
- DB-88F6281
- DB-78100
- SheevaPlug
This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Marvell ARM SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- Since the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) is used we say
good by to obio / mbus drivers and numerous hard-coded config data.
Note that world needs to be built WITH_FDT for the affected platforms.

This brings hwpmc(4) support for 2nd and 3rd generation XScale cores.
Right now it's enabled by default to make sure we test this a bit.
When the time comes it can be disabled by default.
Tested on Gateworks boards.

o call ieee80211_encap in ieee80211_start so frames passed down to drivers
are already encapsulated
o remove ieee80211_encap calls in drivers
o fixup wi so it recreates the 802.3 head it requires from the 802.11
header contents
o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
- aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
(net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
- drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
and/or the contents of the staging queue)
- remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
- add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS
With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.
