ELF files. On ia64 the ELF header contains information about
characteristics of the machine code and ld(1) needs that to
determine whether input files are compatible for linking. To
this end non-ELF files are not supported by binutils on ia64.
However, the resulting ELF file seems to be correct despite the
warnings and the non-supportedness of non-ELF files and it
appears enough to unbreak the build of firmware(9) files on ia64
by simply supressing the warning.

o make all crypto drivers have a device_t; pseudo drivers like the s/w
crypto driver synthesize one
o change the api between the crypto subsystem and drivers to use kobj;
cryptodev_if.m defines this api
o use the fact that all crypto drivers now have a device_t to add support
for specifying which of several potential devices to use when doing
crypto operations
o add new ioctls that allow user apps to select a specific crypto device
to use (previous ioctls maintained for compatibility)
o overhaul crypto subsystem code to eliminate lots of cruft and hide
implementation details from drivers
o bring in numerous fixes from Michale Richardson/hifn; mostly for
795x parts
o add an optional mechanism for mmap'ing the hifn 795x public key h/w
to user space for use by openssl (not enabled by default)
o update crypto test tools to use new ioctl's and add cmd line options
to specify a device to use for tests
These changes will also enable much future work on improving the core
crypto subsystem; including proper load balancing and interposing code
between the core and drivers to dispatch small operations to the s/w
driver as appropriate.
These changes were instigated by the work of Michael Richardson.

but large parts are rewritten by matk and tanimura.
This is old code, it's not maintained since 2003. We also don't have a
maintainer for this! Yuriy Tsibizov took it and uses it in his emu10kx
driver. Since the emu10kx driver will enter the tree "soon" (some bugs
have to be fixed after Yuriy return from his holidays), I add it here
already.
This also contains some changes to emu10k1 and cmi, so if you're lucky,
you can now make some kind of use of midi with those soundcards.
To all those poor souls which don't have such a card: feel free to send
patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
To those which miss a specific feature in the midi code: feel free to
submit patches, we don't have a maintainer for this.
Oh, did I already told that it would be nice if someone would take care
of it? Maintainer with midi equipment wanted! :-)
If you get LOR's, submit a PR and notify multimedia@ please. If you get
panics, submit a PR with a backtrace (compile the sound system into your
kernel instead of using modules in this case) and notify multimedia@
please.

o Properly use rman(9) to manage resources. This eliminates the
need to puc-specific hacks to rman. It also allows devinfo(8)
to be used to find out the specific assignment of resources to
serial/parallel ports.
o Compress the PCI device "database" by optimizing for the common
case and to use a procedural interface to handle the exceptions.
The procedural interface also generalizes the need to setup the
hardware (program chipsets, program clock frequencies).
o Eliminate the need for PUC_FASTINTR. Serdev devices are fast by
default and non-serdev devices are handled by the bus.
o Use the serdev I/F to collect interrupt status and to handle
interrupts across ports in priority order.
o Sync the PCI device configuration to include devices found in
NetBSD and not yet merged to FreeBSD.
o Add support for Quatech 2, 4 and 8 port UARTs.
o Add support for a couple dozen Timedia serial cards as found
in Linux.

our kernel linker will only load PT_LOAD segments, apparently not.
Instead, produce .dbg objects from .debug objects, and install

Try to make everyone happy: David (to have debug kernels installed
by default), Warner (to be able to override that), and myself (for
actually making it all work and to be consistent).
Now, if kernel was configured for debugging (through DEBUG=-g in
the kernel config file or "config -g"), doing "make install" will
install debug versions of kernel and module objects with their
canonical names,
kernel.debug -> /boot/kernel/kernel
if_fxp.ko.debug -> /boot/kernel/if_fxp.ko
Installing a kernel not configured for debugging, or debug kernel
with INSTALL_NODEBUG variable defined, will install non-debug
kernel and module objects.
Also, restore the install.debug and reinstall.debug targets that
are part of the existing API (they cause some additional gdb(1)
scripts to be installed).

o ATA is now fully newbus'd and split into modules.
This means that on a modern system you just load "atapci and ata"
to get the base support, and then one or more of the device
subdrivers "atadisk atapicd atapifd atapist ataraid".
All can be loaded/unloaded anytime, but for obvious reasons you
dont want to unload atadisk when you have mounted filesystems.
o The device identify part of the probe has been rewritten to fix
the problems with odd devices the old had, and to try to remove
so of the long delays some HW could provoke. Also probing is done
without the need for interrupts, making earlier probing possible.
o SATA devices can be hot inserted/removed and devices will be created/
removed in /dev accordingly.
NOTE: only supported on controllers that has this feature:
Promise and Silicon Image for now.
On other controllers the usual atacontrol detach/attach dance is
still needed.
o Support for "atomic" composite ATA requests used for RAID.
o ATA RAID support has been rewritten and and now supports these
metadata formats:
"Adaptec HostRAID"
"Highpoint V2 RocketRAID"
"Highpoint V3 RocketRAID"
"Intel MatrixRAID"
"Integrated Technology Express"
"LSILogic V2 MegaRAID"
"LSILogic V3 MegaRAID"
"Promise FastTrak"
"Silicon Image Medley"
"FreeBSD PseudoRAID"
o Update the ioctl API to match new RAID levels etc.
o Update atacontrol to know about the new RAID levels etc
NOTE: you need to recompile atacontrol with the new sys/ata.h,
make world will take care of that.
NOTE2: that rebuild is done differently from the old system as
the rebuild is now done piggybacked on read requests to the
array, so atacontrol simply starts a background "dd" to rebuild
the array.
o The reinit code has been worked over to be much more robust.
o The timeout code has been overhauled for races.
o Support of new chipsets.
o Lots of fixes for bugs found while doing the modulerization and
reviewing the old code.
Missing or changed features from current ATA:
o atapi-cd no longer has support for ATAPI changers. Todays its
much cheaper and alot faster to copy those CD images to disk
and serve them from there. Besides they dont seem to be made
anymore, maybe for that exact reason.
o ATA RAID can only read metadata from all the above metadata formats,
not write all of them (Promise and Highpoint V2 so far). This means
that arrays can be picked up from the BIOS, but they cannot be
created from FreeBSD. There is more to it than just the missing
write metadata support, those formats are not unique to a given
controller like Promise and Highpoint formats, instead they exist
for several types, and even worse, some controllers can have
different formats and its impossible to tell which one.
The outcome is that we cannot reliably create the metadata of those
formats and be sure the controller BIOS will understand it.
However write support is needed to update/fail/rebuild the arrays
properly so it sits fairly high on the TODO list.
o So far atapicam is not supported with these changes. When/if this
will change is up to the maintainer of atapi-cam so go there for
questions.
