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.
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.

last cleanup. Since the oid_arg2 field of struct sysctl_oid is not wide
enough to hold a long, the SYSCTL_LONG() macro has been modified to only
support exporting long variables by pointer instead of by value.

* Update drivers to the latest version of the bus interface.
The ISA drivers' use of the new resource api is minimal. Garrett has
some much cleaner drivers which should be more easily shared between
i386 and alpha. This has only been tested on cia based machines. It
should work on lca and apecs but I might have broken something.
routines are necessary to allow the use of certain types of hardware on
the alpha, particularly a Myrinet card.

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 :-).
