If you want to play with it, you can find the final version of the
code in the repository the tag LFS_RETIREMENT.
If somebody makes LFS work again, adding it back is certainly
desireable, but as it is now nobody seems to care much about it,
and it has suffered considerable bitrot since its somewhat haphazard
integration.
R.I.P
This introduce an xxxFS_BOOT for each of the rootable filesystems.
(Presently not required, but encouraged to allow a smooth move of option *FS
to opt_dontuse.h later.)
LFS is temporarily disabled, and will be re-enabled tomorrow.
This is Junichi's v1.0 driver.
NOTE: Major device numbers have been changed to avoid conflict with other
FreeBSD 3.0 devices. The new numbers should be considered "official."
This driver is still considered "beta" quality, although we have been
playing with it. Please submit bugs to junichi and myself.

original BSD code. The association between the vnode and the vm_object
no longer includes reference counts. The major difference is that
vm_object's are no longer freed gratuitiously from the vnode, and so
once an object is created for the vnode, it will last as long as the
vnode does.
When a vnode object reference count is incremented, then the underlying
vnode reference count is incremented also. The two "objects" are now
more intimately related, and so the interactions are now much less
complex.
When vnodes are now normally placed onto the free queue with an object still
attached. The rundown of the object happens at vnode rundown time, and
happens with exactly the same filesystem semantics of the original VFS
code. There is absolutely no need for vnode_pager_uncache and other
travesties like that anymore.
A side-effect of these changes is that SMP locking should be much simpler,
the I/O copyin/copyout optimizations work, NFS should be more ponderable,
and further work on layered filesystems should be less frustrating, because
of the totally coherent management of the vnode objects and vnodes.
Please be careful with your system while running this code, but I would
greatly appreciate feedback as soon a reasonably possible.
(mutant) Crystal CSS4236 chip on the Intel PR440FX SMP motherboard.
XXX this uses some rather ugly PnP bootstrap code that is *NOT* compatable
with 'controller pnp0' or *ANY* other PnP devices. If you use some other
PnP devices, enabling css0 will burn your house down. :-] The
"simplified" PnP init sequence directly blats your config(8) settings onto
the chip. I'm pretty sure 'css0' will conflict with 'mss0', this whole
area desperately needs a cleanup.
I have been using the following with some success on the PR440FX:
controller snd0
device css0 at isa? port 0x534 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x08 vector adintr
device opl0 at isa? port 0x388
device mpu0 at isa? port 0x330 irq 10 vector mpuintr
Here are the remanding changes required to support the Ensoniq
Soundscape using FreeBSD 3.0-current.
Notes:
1) ad1848_init already has code to detect if DMA_DUPLEX should
be set so it is not necessary (and is in fact a mistake) to
hard code setting it. Not all soundcards (i.e. the current
sscape driver) are capable of using DMA_DUPLEX.
2) The other changes are hopefully self explanatory. Feel free
to let me know if you need additional information.
