udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
with other reset handling in rev.1.83 but broke it in rev.1.120. The
breakage didn't seem to cause any problems even on the system which had
problems ("extra" interrupts and botched handling thereof) before rev.1.83.
It only affects multi-floppy systems anyway.
manuals specifically say that reading the counters using the rdmsr
instruction returns a 64 bit value of which the higher 24 bits are
undefined. The code that reads the counters should then clear the
high 24 bits.

but was fairly harmless because not many devices have statically
configured msizes (none should have, but old-bus is missing post-probe
checks for maddr/msize conflicts, so sizes had to be statically
configured for maddr/msize conflict checking to actually work).

Fixed profiling of elf kernels. Made high resolution profiling compile
for elf kernels (it is broken for all kernels due to lack of egcs support).
Renaming of many assembler labels is avoided by declaring by declaring
the labels that need to be visible to gprof as having type "function"
and depending on the elf version of gprof being zealous about discarding
the others. A few type declarations are still missing, mainly for SMP.

Catch a few stray "kernel" hardcoded references.
Move the kernel.debug and related kernel build rules together.

it too. (phk liked my suggested name tada() but I decided against it :-)

generated it, but they had an unused 'char *' in them).

.. to 2.2.x and 3.x if people think it's worth it. Driver writers can do
this if it's not defined. (The reason for this is that I'm trying to
progressively eliminate use of linker_sets where it hurts modularity and
runtime load capability, and these DATA_SET's keep getting in the way.)

You can still configure a root device (which is used if you give
the "-r" flag) but now with an option:
options ROOTDEVNAME=\"da0s2e\"
The string is parsed by the same code as at the "boot -a" prompt.
At the same time, make the "boot -a" prompt both more able and more
informative.
ALPHA/PC98 people: You will have to adapt a few simple changes
(defining rootdev and dumpdev somewhere else) before config works
for you again, sorry, but it's all in the name of progress.
I'm not too happy about the result either, but at least it has less
chance of backfiring.
This particular feature could be called "a mess" without offending
anybody.

on the ISA side of the PCI-ISA bridge and could be duplicated if there
were multiple PCI-ISA bridges, say in a laptop docking station), while
the APIC resources would be global on SMP systems.
Also, revert a previous change, change some printfs back to panics.

This could change later in the face of multi-ISA-bus (eg: laptop docking
stations with two independent ISA busses) and SMP/APIC systems. The Alpha
already has multiple interrupt destinations to deal with.
development that leads to lots of crashes during boot.
I have made a 'reinstall' target (like in ports, and reinstall.debug)
This is most useful if you want to keep /kernel.old as a known bootable
kernel. If you test a new kernel and have to reboot for a fix, a
'make reinstall' will install the new kernel over the top of the old
non-viable one, leaving the old one untouched. This is mainly meant
for development, not general users.
