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!

config(8). This commit allows control of the creation of the
#include "foo.h" files. We now only create them explicitly when needed.
BTW; these are mostly bad because they usually imply static limits on
numbers of units for devices. eg: struct mysoftc sc[NFOO];
These static limits have Got To Go.
pw(8) was calling pwd_mkdb -u oldusername instead of newusername, so
the update appears to have failed until the next full pwd_mkdb
syncronization.

BINOWN isn't quite right for this, but it's not really worth creating
a MAILOWN for this.
a size_t as its 3rd argument, which is 64-bits on the alpha. The 'len'
variable used was a int, which is only 32-bits. Use size_t as the type
for 'len' to work-around this.
- This feature will be enabled only if the string is
enclosed by '/' something like;
card "SunDisk" "/.*/"
- Also added matching additional information strings
followed by version string. This is for the card which is
difficult to idendentify by only the manufacturer and
card version strings matching.

confusion (I just committed a fix to one of these files within
the last hour, thinking it was still valid).
