Julian Elischer 3745c395ec Rename the kthread_xxx (e.g. kthread_create()) calls
to kproc_xxx as they actually make whole processes.
Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.

I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0  so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.

2. Rebuild the kernel with RR182x support
--------------------------------------------

  1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 
  
  2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:

     # cd /usr/src/sys/
     # tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr182x-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz

  3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
     Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is 
     MYKERNEL:

     # cd i386/conf          (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
     # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL

  4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers 
     interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":

          device  hptmv   #HighPoint RocketRAID 182x

  5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
     shown below:

          hptmvraid.o optional    hptmv  \
              dependency  "$S/dev/hptmv/i386-elf.raid.o.uu" \
              compile-with    "uudecode < $S/dev/hptmv/i386-elf.raid.o.uu" \
              no-implicit-rule

          dev/hptmv/gui_lib.c     optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/hptproc.c     optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/ioctl.c       optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/entry.c       optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/mv.c          optional        hptmv

     For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
     shown below:

          hptmvraid.o optional    hptmv  \
              dependency  "$S/dev/hptmv/amd64-elf.raid.o.uu" \
              compile-with    "uudecode < $S/dev/hptmv/amd64-elf.raid.o.uu" \
              no-implicit-rule

          dev/hptmv/gui_lib.c     optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/hptproc.c     optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/ioctl.c       optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/entry.c       optional        hptmv
          dev/hptmv/mv.c          optional        hptmv

     Note FreeBSD 5.3/5.4 i386 already have a built-in RR182x driver, you should
     replace the old configuration lines with the lines listed above.


  6) Rebuild and install the kernel:

     a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386:
     
        # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
        # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
        # make depend
        # make 
        # make install

     b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64:

        # cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
        # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
        # make depend
        # make 
        # make install

     c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
     
        # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
        # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
        # make depend
        # make 
        # make install

    If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
    /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptmv_load="YES"
    from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
    
  7) Reboot from the new kernel.


3. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
------------------------------------------------

  1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 
  
  2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
    
     # cd /usr/src/sys/
     # tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr182x-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz


  4) Build the driver module:
    
     # cd modules/hptmv
     # make

  5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory

     For FreeBSD 4.x:
     
     # cp hptmv.ko /modules/

     For FreeBSD 5.x:
    
     # cp hptmv.ko /boot/kernel/

  6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:

        BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.01
        Console: internal video/keyboard
        BIOS driver A: is disk0
        BIOS driver C: is disk2
        BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory
        
        FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
        (mailto:jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com, Sat Apr 21 08:46:19 GMT 2001)
        Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
        /kernel text=0x24f1db data=0x3007ec+0x2062c -
        
        Hit [Enter] to boot immediagely, or any other key for command prompt.
        Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds<64><73>
        
         <-- press SPACE key here 
        Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
        ok load hptmv
        /modules/hptmv.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
        ok boot
        
     For FreeBSD 5.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader prompt.
  
  7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
     driver automatically:
    
           hptmv_load="YES"
    
     Please refer to the installation guide in HighPoint FreeBSD driver release 
     package for more information.
