- An "at" hint now reserves a device name.
- A new BUS_HINT_DEVICE_UNIT method is added to the bus interface. When
determining the unit number of a device, this method is invoked to
let the bus driver specify the unit of a device given a specific
devclass. This is the only way a device can be given a name reserved
via an "at" hint.
- Implement BUS_HINT_DEVICE_UNIT() for the acpi(4) and isa(4) bus drivers.
Both of these busses implement this by comparing the resources for a
given hint device with the resources enumerated by ACPI/PnPBIOS and
wire a unit if the hint resources are a subset of the "real" resources.
- Use bus_hinted_children() for adding hinted devices on isa(4) busses
now instead of doing it by hand.
- Remove the unit kludging from sio(4) as it is no longer necessary.

stomping on the units intended for the motherboard sio ports. This is
no real substitute for the not-yet-committed device wiring enhancements.
Code taken from sio's pci attachment.
o Properly use rman(9) to manage resources. This eliminates the
need to puc-specific hacks to rman. It also allows devinfo(8)
to be used to find out the specific assignment of resources to
serial/parallel ports.
o Compress the PCI device "database" by optimizing for the common
case and to use a procedural interface to handle the exceptions.
The procedural interface also generalizes the need to setup the
hardware (program chipsets, program clock frequencies).
o Eliminate the need for PUC_FASTINTR. Serdev devices are fast by
default and non-serdev devices are handled by the bus.
o Use the serdev I/F to collect interrupt status and to handle
interrupts across ports in priority order.
o Sync the PCI device configuration to include devices found in
NetBSD and not yet merged to FreeBSD.
o Add support for Quatech 2, 4 and 8 port UARTs.
o Add support for a couple dozen Timedia serial cards as found
in Linux.
the structure definitions come from NetBSD to make it easier to share card
definitions. The driver only acts as a shim between the pci bus and the
sio driver. Later pci parallel ports could also be supported through this
driver. Support for most single and multiport pci serial cards should be
as simple as adding its definition to pucdata.c
Tested with the following pci cards:
Moxa Industio CP-114, 4 port RS-232,RS-422/485
Syba Tech Ltd. PCI-4S2P-550-ECP, 4 port RS-232 + 2 parallel ports
Netmos NM9835 PCI-2S-550, 2 port RS-232
