14177d72cd My changes to the new device interface:
- Interface wth the new resource manager.
	- Allow for multiple drivers implementing a single devclass.
	- Remove ordering dependencies between header files.
	- Style cleanup.
	- Add DEVICE_SUSPEND and DEVICE_RESUME methods.
	- Move to a single-phase interrupt setup scheme.

Kernel builds on the Alpha are brken until Doug gets a chance to incorporate
these changes on that side.

Major changes to the generic device framework for FreeBSD/alpha:

* Eliminate bus_t and make it possible for all devices to have
  attached children.

* Support dynamically extendable interfaces for drivers to replace
  both the function pointers in driver_t and bus_ops_t (which has been
  removed entirely.  Two system defined interfaces have been defined,
  'device' which is mandatory for all devices and 'bus' which is
  recommended for all devices which support attached children.

* In addition, the alpha port defines two simple interfaces 'clock'
  for attaching various real time clocks to the system and 'mcclock'
  for the many different variations of mc146818 clocks which can be
  attached to different alpha platforms.  This eliminates two more
  function pointer tables in favour of the generic method dispatch
  system provided by the device framework.

Future device interfaces may include:

* cdev and bdev interfaces for devfs to use in replacement for specfs
  and the fixed interfaces bdevsw and cdevsw.

* scsi interface to replace struct scsi_adapter (not sure how this
  works in CAM but I imagine there is something similar there).

* various tailored interfaces for different bus types such as pci,
  isa, pccard etc.
