The old version only worked right when the time was read strictly
more often than every 1/HZ seconds, but we only guarantee reading
it every (1/HZ + epsilon) seconds. Part of rev.1.126-1.127 attempted
to fix this but didn't succeed. Detect counter rollover using the
heuristic from the old version of microtime() with additional
complications for supporting calls from fast interrupt handlers.
This works provided i8254 interrupts are not delayed by more than
1/(2*HZ) seconds.
This needs more comments, and cleanups for the SMP case, and more
testing of the SMP case before it is merged into RELENG_3.
Tested by: jhay
disable_intr() does non-recursive locking in the SMP case. This should
fix cy-driver-related panics when SMP is configured.

manager and prevented IOPort allocation beyond the first EISA slot from
working. subr_rman.c should have trapped this on the way into the system
rather than tripping over the wreckage.

- Remove all references to mfs from cpu_rootconf(). mfs_init is
called prior to cpu_rootconf(), so it can set mountrootfsname to mfs
and (more imporantly) set rootdev using the (bogus in Bruce's opinion)
special major number of 255.
- Mention that the 6Mbps turbo adapters are supported in HARDWARE.TXT
and RELNOTES.TXT and the wi.4 man page
- Mention turbo adapters in the wicontrol.8 man page and provide a
complete table of available transmit speed settings
* Re-work the resource allocation code to use helper functions in subr_bus.c.
* Add simple isa interface for manipulating the resource ranges which can be
allocated and remove the code from isa_write_ivar() which was previously
used for this purpose.
ADMtek AL981 "Comet" chipset. The AL981 is yet another DEC tulip clone,
except with simpler receive filter options. The AL981 has a built-in
transceiver, power management support, wake on LAN and flow control.
This chip performs extremely well; it's on par with the ASIX chipset
in terms of speed, which is pretty good (it can do 11.5MB/sec with TCP
easily).
I would have committed this driver sooner, except I ran into one problem
with the AL981 that required a workaround. When the chip is transmitting
at full speed, it will sometimes wedge if you queue a series of packets
that wrap from the end of the transmit descriptor list back to the
beginning. I can't explain why this happens, and none of the other tulip
clones behave this way. The workaround this is to just watch for the end
of the transmit ring and make sure that al_start() breaks out of its
packet queuing loop and waiting until the current batch of transmissions
completes before wrapping back to the start of the ring. Fortunately, this
does not significantly impact transmit performance.
This is one of those things that takes weeks of analysis just to come
up with two or three lines of code changes.

motherboard will have a card for the "motherboard" on slot 0.
eisa0: <EISA bus> on motherboard
mainboard0: <ASU5101 (System Board)> at slot 0 on eisa0
This should stop the probe "detecting" an EISA bus everywhere that has
a 'controller eisa0' line regardless of whether it's really there.
A very nice i/o board with 16 open collector outputs (capable of driving 5-40v)
and 16 inputs
Also has 2 16 bit cascadable counters (10Mhz clock) capable of
generating interrupts.
It is a PCI card, and emulates the Intel 8254 timer.
It uses the PLX PCI-9050 PCI bus interface to map the
8254 style hardware and the i/o registers into the IO space.

Clean up the handling of failure modes in our attach so we don't free
resources twice. ahc_free() will do all of the work for us (as would
be required by an unload event) so we only need to handle resources that
the softc has not taken ownership of.
though, on systems (386 mostly) that still have a seperate fpu, but it
might be possible to find systems where the FPU coprocessor is wired to
a different IRQ pin.
instances to a parent bus.
* Define a new method BUS_ADD_CHILD which can be called from DEVICE_IDENTIFY
to add new instances.
* Add a generic implementation of DEVICE_PROBE which calls DEVICE_IDENTIFY
for each driver attached to the parent's devclass.
* Move the hint-based isa probe from the isa driver to a new isahint driver
which can be shared between i386 and alpha.
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
with other reset handling in rev.1.83 but broke it in rev.1.120. The
breakage didn't seem to cause any problems even on the system which had
problems ("extra" interrupts and botched handling thereof) before rev.1.83.
It only affects multi-floppy systems anyway.
