Add a new device control utility for new-bus devices called devctl. This allows the user to request administrative changes to individual devices such as attach or detaching drivers or disabling and re-enabling devices. - Add a new /dev/devctl2 character device which uses ioctls for device requests. The ioctls use a common 'struct devreq' which is somewhat similar to 'struct ifreq'. - The ioctls identify the device to operate on via a string. This string can either by the device's name, or it can be a bus-specific address. (For unattached devices, a bus address is the only way to locate a device.) Bus drivers register an eventhandler to claim unrecognized device names that the driver recognizes as a valid address. Two buses currently support addresses: ACPI recognizes any device in the ACPI namespace via its full path starting with "\" and the PCI bus driver recognizes an address specification of 'pci[<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>:<func>' (identical to the PCI selector strings supported by pciconf). - To make it easier to cut and paste, change the PnP location string in the PCI bus driver to output a full PCI selector string rather than 'slot=<slot> function=<func>'. - Add a devctl(3) interface in libdevctl which provides a wrapper around the ioctls and is the preferred interface for other userland code. - Add a devctl(8) program which is a simple wrapper around the requests supported by devctl(3). - Add a device_is_suspended() function to check DF_SUSPENDED. - Add a resource_unset_value() function that can be used to remove a hint from the kernel environment. This is used to clear a hint.<driver>.<unit>.disabled hint when re-enabling a boot-time disabled device. Reviewed by: imp (parts) Requested by: imp (changing PCI location string) Relnotes: yes

Implement 'devctl clear driver' to undo a previous 'devctl set driver'. Add a new 'clear driver' command for devctl along with the accompanying ioctl and devctl_clear_driver() library routine to reset a device to use a wildcard devclass instead of a fixed devclass. This can be used to undo a previous 'set driver' command. After the device's name has been reset to permit wildcard names, it is reprobed so that it can attach to newly-available (to it) device drivers.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility adjusts the state of individual devices in the kernel's
internal device hierarchy.
Each invocation of
.Nm
consists of a single command followed by command-specific arguments.
Each command operates on a single device specified via the
.Ar device
argument.
The
.Ar device
may be specified either as the name of an existing device or as a
bus-specific address.
More details on supported address formats can be found in
.Xr devctl 3 .
.Pp
The following commands are supported:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm attach Ar device
Force the kernel to re-probe the device.
If a suitable driver is found,
it is attached to the device.
.It Xo Cm detach
.Op Fl f
.Ar device
.Xc
Detach the device from its current device driver.
If the
.Fl f
flag is specified,
the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
.It Xo Cm disable
.Op Fl f
.Ar device
.Xc
Disable a device.
If the device is currently attached to a device driver,
the device driver will be detached from the device,
but the device will retain its current name.
If the
.Fl f
flag is specified,
the device driver will be detached even if the device is busy.
.It Cm enable Ar device
Enable a device.
The device will probe and attach if a suitable device driver is found.
Note that this can re-enable a device disabled at boot time via a
loader tunable.
.It Cm suspend Ar device
Suspend a device.
This may include placing the device in a reduced power state.
Fix formatting.

Resume a suspended device to a fully working state.
.It Xo Cm set driver
.Op Fl f
.Ar device driver
.Xc
Force the device to use a device driver named
.Ar driver .
If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
.Fl f
flag is specified,
the device will be detached from its current device driver before it is
attached to the new device driver.
If the device is already attached to a device driver and the
.Fl f

the device will not be changed.

Clear a previously-forced driver name so that the device is able to use any
valid device driver.
After the previous name has been cleared,

This can be used to undo an earlier
.Cm set driver
command.
If the device is currently attached to a device driver and the

the device will not be changed.
