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

.Sh NAME
.Nm devctl
.Nd device control utility
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Cm attach
.Ar device
.Nm
.Cm detach
.Op Fl f
.Ar device
.Nm
.Cm disable
.Op Fl f
.Ar device
.Nm
.Cm enable
.Ar device
.Nm
.Cm suspend
.Ar device
.Nm
.Cm resume
.Ar device
.Nm
.Cm set driver
.Op Fl f
.Ar device driver
.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.
.It Cm resume device
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
flag is not specified,
the device will not be changed.
