here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built
into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are
created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under
the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module
that can be kldloaded into the kernel.
A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into
foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static
kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the
.INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module.
You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have
it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled
into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately).
Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system
bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually
sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for
the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep()
doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence
ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead).
This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much
else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy.
There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap.
Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading
them and kldload them once the system is running instead.
16C950. Adding it here doesn't unlock any of the cool 16C950 features
(like the 128 byte fifo, the different prescalor, etc), but it does
seem to get it working for me in light testing.

pumping data despite our scsi data counters being at 0, something has
gone massively wrong. The consequence of happily ignoring this is more
DMA phase errors and a disk full of spammed sectors. Instead, panic on
the first occurance to hopefully limit the damage.

latest 82550 and 82551 chipsets (revision IDs 0x0e, 0x0f and 0x10).
We were only enabling it for revisions 0x0c and 0x0d, now it's
enabled for any 8255x NIC with a revision ID bigger than 0x0c. It
should be safe, and this is what Intel does in their open source
driver.

Misc cosmetic and comment cleanups now we are here.

ioctls are now handled explicitly, but we can't really do anything
with them unless the NIC is up (trying to get/set a parameter when
the NDIS driver isn't running always yields an error). If something
invokes either of these ioctls and the NIC isn't initialized, punt
to the default ieee80211_ioctl() routine.
While we wait for holds to be released, print a list of who holds us

Use the new KPI from GEOM instead of vfs_mount.c calling g_waitidle().
Use the new KPI also from ata.
With ATAmkIII's newbusification, ata could narrowly miss the window
and ad0 would not exist when we tried to mount root.
dc0: MII without any PHY!
We have to enable the connection to the MII first. Doing so fixes the
problem cards without breaking the older, working cards.

- Remove unused headers.
- Use BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT.
- Use __func__ instead of hardcoded function names in error messages.
- Correct some comments.
- Correct some function declarations to match their prototypes.
- Some style(9) fixes (don't use function calls in initializers; indentation).
- Zero the allocated structs to avoid problems with uninitialized members.
- Remove the ifdef'ed out SBus interrupt priority code and the hook for
ncr53c9x_reset(), remove the unused SBus interrupt priority member from
esp_softc. On FreeBSD setting the SBus interrupt priority is entirely done
in sbus(4) and the reset function isn't even really used in NetBSD.

caused pain when devices failed to aquire the memory. Use a regular

- Split core DRM routines back into their own module, rather than using the
nasty templated system like before.
- Development-class R300 support in radeon driver (requires userland pieces, of
course).
- Mach64 driver (haven't tested in a while -- my mach64s no longer fit in the
testbox). Covers Rage Pros, Rage Mobility P/M, Rage XL, and some others.
- i915 driver files, which just need to get drm_drv.c fixed to allow attachment
to the drmsub device. Covers i830 through i915 integrated graphics.
- savage driver files, which should require minimal changes to work. Covers the
Savage3D, Savage IX/MX, Savage 4, ProSavage.
- Support for color and texture tiling and HyperZ features of Radeon.

This allows to attach to the children (ATA devices) even without a
driver being attached. This allows atapi-cam to do its work both
with and without the pure ATAPI driver being present.

printf's during a verbose boot is more intuitive (the BAR listings and
interrupt routing info now comes after the config header dump rather than
just before it).
Save a memory dereference in the ISR by passing this in directly.
Calling pps_capture is MP safe for all other operations on struct
pps_state, so there's no need to aquire the lock before we do this,
even from a fast ISR. Avoid dereferencing sc->ppbus until after
pps_capture is called as well. These actions reduce somewhat the
cache effects that cause variance in interrupt times. On an
especially slow test machine (300MHz Cyrix GXm), this reduces the
interrupt latency about about 10% (from 21us to 19us) and helps a
little with the variance (although most of the variance seems to be
caused by lots of interrupt masking).
This also happens fixes one or two of bde's style issues.
we start turning any of them back on again. This works around a bug in
some BIOSen that alias two different link devices for APIC vs ATPIC modes
onto the same physical hardware link.
