- 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.
