of what uart(4) is and/or is not see the initial commit log of one
of the files in sys/dev/uart (or see share/man/man4/uart.4).
Note that currently pc98 shares the MD file with i386. This needs
to change when pc98 support is fleshed-out to properly support the
various UARTs. A good example is sparc64 in this respect.
We build uart(4) as a module on all platforms. This may break
the ppc port. That depends on whether they do actually build
modules.
To use uart(4) on alpha, one must use the NO_SIO option.
- Move isa/ppc* to sys/dev/ppc (repo-copy)
- Add an attachment method to ppc for puc
- In puc we need to walk the chain of parents.
Still to do, is to make ppc(4) & puc(4) work on other platforms. Testers
wanted.
PR: 38372 (in spirit done differently)
Verified by: Make universe (if I messed up a platform please fix)
for the agp module, and add agp to the list of modules to compile for alpha.
Add an alpha_mb() to agp_flush_cache for alpha -- it's not correct but may
improve the situation, and it's what linux and NetBSD do.
Interface (SMAPI) BIOS, which is present on some IBM
Thinkpad models (560, 600, 770 to name a few.)
The SMAPI BIOS provides access to System Information,
System Configuration, and Power Management.
- Add detach support to the driver so that you can kldunload the module.
Note that currently rc_detach() fails to detach a unit if any of its
child devices are open, thus a kldunload will fail if any of the tty
devices are currently open.
- sys/i386/isa/ic/cd180.h was moved to sys/dev/ic/cd180.h as part of
this change.

NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

ACPI or for when ACPI support is disabled or not present in the kernel.
Basically, the nexus device is now split into two with some parts
(such as adding default ISA, MCA, and EISA busses if they aren't found
as well as support for PCI bus device ivars) being moved to the legacy
driver.
i4bq931, i4b, isic, iwic, ifpi, ifpi2, ifpnp, ihfc, and itjc are
no longer count devices. Also remove a few other instances of N<DEVICE>
being used to control compilation of whole files.

RAID's has to be setup via the BIOS on the SuperTrak, but all RAID
types are supported by the driver. The SuperTrak rebuilds failed arrays
on the fly and supports spare disks etc etc...
Add "device pst" to your config file to use.
As usual bugsreports, suggestions etc are welcome...
