672c05d49c Preparation commit for the tty cleanups that will follow in the near
future:

rename ttyopen() -> tty_open() and ttyclose() -> tty_close().

We need the ttyopen() and ttyclose() for the new generic cdevsw
functions for tty devices in order to have consistent naming.

b4994e318a Define the tty methods as typedefs.
Change the return type for t_break to void.

Add t_ioctl (more about this later).

2140d01b27 Machine generated patch which changes linedisc calls from accessing
linesw[] directly to using the ttyld...() functions

The ttyld...() functions ar inline so there is no performance hit.

dc08ffec87 Device megapatch 4/6:
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.

Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.

8e1f1df080 Device megapatch 3/6:
Add missing D_TTY flags to various drivers.

Complete asserts that dev_t's passed to ttyread(), ttywrite(),
ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() have (d_flags & D_TTY) and a struct tty
pointer.

Make ttyread(), ttywrite(), ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() the default
cdevsw methods for D_TTY drivers and remove the explicit initializations
in various drivers cdevsw structures.

6dcf0a53d2 Don't explicitly initialize d_maj in the cdevsw with MAJOR_AUTO, as
per the intentions of conf.h, rev 1.176. This change is a no-op as
MAJOR_AUTO equals to 0.

8194412b89 Add support for using uart(4) for pulse capturing for the Pulse Per
Second (PPS) timing interface. The support is non-optional and by
default uses the DCD line signal as the pulse input. A compile-time
option (UART_PPS_ON_CTS) can be used to have uart(4) use the CTS line
signal.

Include <sys/timepps.h> in uart_bus.h to avoid having to add the
inclusion of that header in all source files.

27d5dc189c The uart(4) driver is an universal driver for various UART hardware.
It improves on sio(4) in the following areas:
o  Fully newbusified to allow for memory mapped I/O. This is a must
   for ia64 and sparc64,
o  Machine dependent code to take full advantage of machine and firm-
   ware specific ways to define serial consoles and/or debug ports.
o  Hardware abstraction layer to allow the driver to be used with
   various UARTs, such as the well-known ns8250 family of UARTs, the
   Siemens sab82532 or the Zilog Z8530. This is especially important
   for pc98 and sparc64 where it's common to have different UARTs,
o  The notion of system devices to unkludge low-level consoles and
   remote gdb ports and provides the mechanics necessary to support
   the keyboard on sparc64 (which is UART based).
o  The notion of a kernel interface so that a UART can be tied to
   something other than the well-known TTY interface. This is needed
   on sparc64 to present the user with a device and ioctl handling
   suitable for a keyboard, but also allows us to cleanly hide an
   UART when used as a debug port.

Following is a list of features and bugs/flaws specific to the ns8250
family of UARTs as compared to their support in sio(4):
o  The uart(4) driver determines the FIFO size and automaticly takes
   advantages of larger FIFOs and/or additional features. Note that
   since I don't have sufficient access to 16[679]5x UARTs, hardware
   flow control has not been enabled. This is almost trivial to do,
   provided one can test. The downside of this is that broken UARTs
   are more likely to not work correctly with uart(4). The need for
   tunables or knobs may be large enough to warrant their creation.
o  The uart(4) driver does not share the same bumpy history as sio(4)
   and will therefore not provide the necessary hooks, tweaks, quirks
   or work-arounds to deal with once common hardware. To that extend,
   uart(4) supports a subset of the UARTs that sio(4) supports. The
   question before us is whether the subset is sufficient for current
   hardware.
o  There is no support for multiport UARTs in uart(4). The decision
   behind this is that uart(4) deals with one EIA RS232-C interface.
   Packaging of multiple interfaces in a single chip or on a single
   expansion board is beyond the scope of uart(4) and is now mostly
   left for puc(4) to deal with. Lack of hardware made it impossible
   to actually implement such a dependency other than is present for
   the dual channel SAB82532 and Z8350 SCCs.

The current list of missing features is:
o  No configuration capabilities. A set of tunables and sysctls is
   being worked out. There are likely not going to be any or much
   compile-time knobs. Such configuration does not fit well with
   current hardware.
o  No support for the PPS API. This is partly dependent on the
   ability to configure uart(4) and partly dependent on having
   sufficient information to implement it properly.

As usual, the manpage is present but lacks the attention the
software has gotten.
