alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)
* Per-CPU idle processes.
* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be

Some have dual host->PCI bridges for the same logical pci bus (!), eg:
some of the RCC chipsets. This is a 32/64 bit 33/66MHz and dual pci
voltage motherboard so persumably there are electical or signalling
differences but they are otherwise the same logical bus.
The new PCI probe code however was getting somewhat upset about it and
ended up creating two pci bridges to the same logical bus, which caused
devices on that logical bus to appear and be probed twice.
The ACPI data on this box correctly identifies this stuff, so bring on
ACPI! :-)
pcib_set_bus() cannot be used on the new child because it is
meant to be used on the *pci* device (it looks at the parent internally)
not the pcib being added. Bite the bullet and use ivars for the bus
number to avoid any doubts about whether the softc is consistant between
probe and attach. This should not break the Alpha code.
kernel can instigate an orderly shutdown but still determine the form of
that shutdown. Make it possible eg. to cleanly shutdown and power off the
system under ACPI when the power button is pressed.
the drivers.
* Remove legacy inx/outx support from chipset and replace with macros
which call busspace.
* Rework pci config accesses to route through the pcib device instead of
calling a MD function directly.
With these changes it is possible to cleanly support machines which have
more than one independantly numbered PCI busses. As a bonus, the new
busspace implementation should be measurably faster than the old one.

This change is reported to work by two independent PR originators.
In the absence of further feedback on the freebsd-bugs list, we
may as well get this working for its two users.

panicing and return a status so that we can decide whether to drop
into DDB or panic. If the status from isa_nmi is true, panic the
kernel based on machdep.panic_on_nmi, otherwise if DDB is
enabled, drop to DDB based on machdep.ddb_on_nmi.

The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

the PnP probe is merely a stub as we make assumptions about some of this
hardware before we have probed it.
Since these devices (with the exception of the speaker) are 'standard',
suppress output in the !bootverbose case to clean up the probe messages
somewhat.
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!

Note:
- the old driver still lives in src/sys/i386/isa, so that you can
revert to it if something goes wrong.
- The module does not detach very well. Attaching works fine.

a little too conservative in MP locking fast interrupts but at least
it's trivial to fix. MFC soon.

and does not require that evil list of drivers in isa_compat.h.
It uses the same strategy that pci drivers use, namely a
COMPAT_ISA_DRIVER() macro that creates the glue on the fly.
Theoretically old-style isa drivers should be preloadable now.

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no

Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.
