+ ECP parallel port chipset FIFO detection
+ DMA+FIFO parallel I/O handled as chipset specific
+ nlpt updated in order to use the above enhanced parallel I/O.
Use 'lptcontrol -e' to use enhanced I/O
+ Various options documented in LINT
+ Full IEEE1284 NIBBLE and BYTE modes support. See ppbus(4) for
an overview of the IEEE1284 standard
+ Detection of PnP parallel devices at boot
+ Read capability added to nlpt driver to get IEEE1284 compliant
printer status with a simple 'cat /dev/lpt0'
+ IEEE1284 peripheral emulation added to BYTE mode. Two computers
may dialog according to IEEE1284 signaling method.
See PERIPH_1284 option and /sys/dev/ppbus/ppi.c
All this code is supposed to provide basic functions for IEEE1284 programming.
ppi.c and nlpt.c may act as examples.
basic i/o functions, bit-banging mechanism is implemented by dev/iicbus/iicbb.c
immio.c: some bootverbose logs to watch zip+ connect/disconnect process
- ppbus was released before checking if still in disk_mode by vpoio and immio:
the microseq (in_disk_mode) was never executed. Fixed.
- nlptintr() renamed to nlpt_intr(). spltty() inserted in nlptintr() before
nlpt_intr() call
- ppbus now supports PLIP via the if_plip driver
- ieee1284 infrastructure added, including parallel-port PnP
- port microsequencer added, for scripting the sort of port I/O
that is common with parallel devices without endless calls up and down
through the driver structure.
- improved bus ownership behaviour among the ppbus-using drivers.
- improved I/O chipset feature detection
The vpo driver is now implemented using the microsequencer, leading to
some performance improvements as well as providing an extensive example
of its use.

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.
This introduce an xxxFS_BOOT for each of the rootable filesystems.
(Presently not required, but encouraged to allow a smooth move of option *FS
to opt_dontuse.h later.)
LFS is temporarily disabled, and will be re-enabled tomorrow.
Includers of this file apparently didn't know that <sys/queue.h>
was a prerequisite and include a semi-random collection headers
until one happened to include it.
Remove unused headers.
Remove all but one instance of the device base name.
Prototype some local static functions.
Consistently reference the softc structure as "sc" rather than "lpt".
