Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.
Join CDEV_MODULE and BDEV_MODULE to DEV_MODULE (please pay attention
to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)
Join CDEV_DRIVER_MODULE and BDEV_DRIVER_MODULE to DEV_DRIVER_MODULE
(ditto!)
(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)
Mark the GDB port in the config file with flags 0x80. Currently
only the sio driver checks these flags and sets up a GDB port,
but adding similar code to other serial drivers would be easy.
For backward compatibility, if an sio port is marked as the console
and no port is marked as the gdb port, the GDB port will be mapped
to the console port. This hack should go away at some point.
power management. This will only work on newer firmware revisions; older
firmware will silently ignore the attempts to turn power management on.

NOTE: These changes will require recompilation of any userland
applications, like cdrecord, xmcd, etc., that use the CAM passthrough
interface. A make world is recommended.
camcontrol.[c8]:
- We now support two new commands, "tags" and "negotiate".
- The tags commands allows users to view the number of tagged
openings for a device as well as a number of other related
parameters, and it allows users to set tagged openings for
a device.
- The negotiate command allows users to enable and disable
disconnection and tagged queueing, set sync rates, offsets
and bus width. Note that not all of those features are
available for all controllers. Only the adv, ahc, and ncr
drivers fully support all of the features at this point.
Some cards do not allow the setting of sync rates, offsets and
the like, and some of the drivers don't have any facilities to
do so. Some drivers, like the adw driver, only support enabling
or disabling sync negotiation, but do not support setting sync
rates.
- new description in the camcontrol man page of how to format a disk
- cleanup of the camcontrol inquiry command
- add support in the 'devlist' command for skipping unconfigured devices if
-v was not specified on the command line.
- make use of the new base_transfer_speed in the path inquiry CCB.
- fix CCB bzero cases
cam_xpt.c, cam_sim.[ch], cam_ccb.h:
- new flags on many CCB function codes to designate whether they're
non-immediate, use a user-supplied CCB, and can only be passed from
userland programs via the xpt device. Use these flags in the transport
layer and pass driver to categorize CCBs.
- new flag in the transport layer device matching code for device nodes
that indicates whether a device is unconfigured
- bump the CAM version from 0x10 to 0x11
- Change the CAM ioctls to use the version as their group code, so we can
force users to recompile code even when the CCB size doesn't change.
- add + fill in a new value in the path inquiry CCB, base_transfer_speed.
Remove a corresponding field from the cam_sim structure, and add code to
every SIM to set this field to the proper value.
- Fix the set transfer settings code in the transport layer.
scsi_cd.c:
- make some variables volatile instead of just casting them in various
places
- fix a race condition in the changer code
- attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error. This should
fix all of the cases where people have devices that return weird errors
when they don't have media in the drive.
scsi_da.c:
- attach unless we get a "logical unit not supported" error
scsi_pass.c:
- for immediate CCBs, just malloc a CCB to send the user request in. This
gets rid of the 'held' count problem in camcontrol tags.
scsi_pass.h:
- change the CAM ioctls to use the CAM version as their group code.
adv driver:
- Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately.
adw driver
- Allow changing the sync rate and offset separately.
aha driver:
- Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.
ahc driver:
- Allow setting offset and sync rate separately
bt driver:
- Don't return CAM_REQ_CMP for SET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.
NCR driver:
- Fix the ultra/ultra 2 negotiation bug
- allow setting both the sync rate and offset separately
Other HBA drivers:
- Put code in to set the base_transfer_speed field for
XPT_GET_TRAN_SETTINGS CCBs.

WaveLAN's radio modem. The default is whatever the NIC uses since NICs
sold in different countries may default to different frequencies. (The
Lose95/LoseNT software doesn't let you select the channel so it's probably
not really meant to be changed.)
- Change to the same transmit scheme as the PNIC driver.
- Dynamically set the cache alignment, and set burst size the same as
the PNIC driver in mx_init().
- Enable 'store and forward' mode by default. This is the slowest option
and it does reduce 100Mbps performance somewhat, but it's the most
reliable setting I can find. I'm more interested in having the driver
work reliably than trying to squeeze the best performance out of it.
The reason I'm doing this is that on *some* systems you may see a lot
of transmit underruns (which I can't explain: these are *fast* test
systems) and these errors seem to cause unusual and decidedly
non-tulip-like behavior. In normal 10Mbps mode, performance is fine
(you can easily saturate a 10Mbps link).
Also tweak some of the other drivers:
- Increase the size of the TX ring for the Winbond, ASIX, VIA Rhine
and PNIC drivers.
- Set a larger value for ifq_maxlen in the ThunderLAN driver. The setting
of TL_TX_LIST_CNT - 1 is too low (the ThunderLAN driver only allocates
20 transmit descriptors, and I don't want to fiddle with that now
because the ThunderLAN's descriptor structure is an oddball size
compared to the others).
adapter (and some workalikes). Also add man pages and a wicontrol
utility to manipulate some of the card parameters.
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, though it does not use any of the HCF Light code itself, mainly
because it's contaminated by the GPL (but also because it's pretty gross).
The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF
library, including 802.11 frame encapsulation support, however it has
just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would
have prefered getting my hands on the Hermes manual, but that's proprietary
too. For those who are wondering, the Linux driver uses the proprietary
HCF library, but it's provided in object code form only.)
Note that I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have
only been able to test ad-hoc mode. The wicontrol utility can turn on
BSS mode, but I don't know for certain that the NIC will associate with
an access point correctly. Testers are encouraged to send their results
to me so that I can find out if I screwed up or not.
network adapters. These are all PCMCIA devices (the ISA version is a
PCMCIA to ISA bridge with a PCMCIA card plugged into it). Also add a
wicontrol utility to read and write some of the card's parameters.
Note: I do not have access to a WavePOINT access point, so I have only
been able to test this driver in ad-hoc (point to point) mode. The
wicontrol utility allows programming the desired service set name (SSID)
and enabling BSS mode, but I can't tell for sure if it works (I know the
card switches modes, but I can't verify that it joins a service set
correctly).
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, which is an API library designed to simplify driver development
for devices based on the Lucent Hermes chip. Unfortunately, the HCF Light
is missing certain features (like 802.11 frame encapsulation!) which are
available only in the proprietary complete HCF code, which is not available
to the public. This driver uses none of the HCF Light code: it's very ugly
and contaminated by the GPL. IP and ARP packets are encapsulated as 802.11
frames, everything else is encapsulated as 802.3.
(It would be easier to just get the Hermes programming manual, but that's
not publically available either. For those who are wondering, the Linux
WaveLAN/IEEE driver uses the proprietary HCF code, which is provided in
object code form only. So much for supporting open source sofware.)
Multicast filter support is implemented, however it appears that the
filter doesn't work: programming in one IP mutlicast group enables them
all.
