This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
It will need to be changed
but it's the better starting point..
also add '?' to wildcarding in SCSI identification of devices..
so we can catch all PIONEER CD 6??* devices instead of having
separate entries for the 600, 602, 604X, 624X etc..
it's getting so we should have a small regexp routine in the kernel
maybe just a little one.. matching CDX-6[0-9][0-9][ A-Z] would be better
there will be drastic changes in this
but this is the best starting point..
user-level part has already been commited.)
Note that i've lost the "official" code for this; it went into the
system after 1.1.5.1. The commited code is my own version, but it has
proven to work for me for more than a year now.
sd.c: Julian's removal of subdriver requests
st.c, scsi_tape.h: Julian's suport of compressed tape drives
Note: compressed tape drives are still not working fully.
scsiconf.h, scsi_base.c, scsi_driver.c: address problems in probes
and error console logs
Changes are only effective, if NEW_SCSICONF is defined:
1) Added u_int16 quirks to struct scsi_link for device quirks.
2) Added void *devmodes to struct scsi_link for tape density modes.
3) Modified selectdev() to return first full match (with wildcard).
With this patch all device dependent configuration is done in one place
(scsiconf.c), while there were some specifications in st.c and some
hardware dependent drivers (ie. ncr.c) before.
