stealth hints loading. 'make release' has been fixed to not need this
now anyway. If you want static hints, specify it explicitly.
Hey! Why did it suddenly get so dark??
to be included into this one. This works the same way as #include
does in C; as far as the user is concerned, the included file is
inlined into the current one.
Since config(8) is no longer limited to working on one user-supplied
file, printing just a line number in an error message is not
sufficient. The new global variable yyfile represents the file
currently being parsed, and must be printed as well.

Fix the 'config vmunix' support glue which was broken for a few minutes.
(I think config(8) source does bad things to your brain :-)
Clean up likely stray *.h files in the build directory.
Eg: if isa.h ceases being generated, zap it.
The heuristics to figure out a 'likely' file are pretty revolting.

as a replacement for the evil #define NFOO. If 'device npx' is in the
static kernel, a synthetic option '#define DEV_NPX 1' will be available
to stick in an opt_xxx.h file. "#if NNPX > 0" can be replaced with
"#ifdef DEV_NPX" and we can get rid of the overloaded meaning of the
device count mechanism.
for your /usr/obj/path/to/my/files path to the kernel, then weird
things happened. make buildkernel would fail because config was
dumping core or generating bad file names (depending on the lenght of
the path).
While I was here, also use strlcpy, strlcat and snprintf (or asprintf)
as necessary. Minor format policing for the snprintf calls as well.
Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.
config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.
Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning!
