interrupts are enabled, this kills the last "unwanted interrupts"
(and there is no ugly hacks like in the old driver to avoid them).
COmmand interrupt devices are now supported, this applies mostly
to older CDROM's and apparently also the ZIP.
Fixed problems:
Number of total sectors wrong on some older drives.
Fixed by not using the LBA size unless we know its valid.
There has also been more general code clenaups, some reorgs also.
Added "options ATA_STATIC_ID" that wires ATA disks like the old wd driver.
Fixed problems:
Dont use more sectors/intr than the drive supports.
Fix announce of > 8.4G disks.
Dont call ad_interrupt/ad_transfer when no disks config'd.
Use the right page# for CDR write mode params.
Fix breakage when no PCI support in kernel.
Implement DEVFS stuff.
General code clenaup.
Change VINUM_SAVECONFIG: it now requires a parameter. 0 means
"configuration updates are finished, please save", and 1 means "please
just save the config". This second meaning is invoked by the new
"saveconfig" command to vinum(8).
Recognize "referenced" drives by the lack of a slash in the device
name, not by a NUL character.
vinum_scandisk: return error indication (ENOENT if we can't find any
vinum drive, otherwise 0).
VINUM_SAVECONFIG: change parameters.
Don't save config while we're reading it from disk.
Change the way we handle the daemon: if we can't communicate with it
for 1 second (which is possible), start a new one. The daemon saves
its pid in daemonpid; on each iteration of the main loop the daemon
checks whether it's still in favour. If not, it silently exits.
Also, when trying to communicate with the daemon, check daemonpid
first. If it's set to 0, don't even try.
Rename the VF_KERNELOP to VF_DISKCONFIG and checkkernel () to
checkdiskconfig (), which better describes their function.
Disable configuration updates if we have an error reading in the
configuration. This stops a "shoot-in-foot" problem where a mistake
can cause the configuration to be obliterated.
Tidy up some messages, which included superfluous \ns.
Recognize RAID-5 configuration information even in the non-RAID-5
version. This fixes shoot-in-foot problems where starting the wrong
version of vinum would kill RAID-5 plexes.
Recognize drives that have been referenced, but for which no physical
location is known. This is part of a modification which will
ultimately allow incrementally reading configurations. Such drives
will have a device name "unknown".
New function return_drive_space () returns space to a drive.
Previously this was part of free_sd ().
give_sd_to_drive: don't do it if the subdisk needs more space than the
drive has available.
config_sd: if reading config from disk, accept plex offset, drive
offset and length specs of -1 to indicate error conditions.
parse_config: return ENOENT if the "read" command doesn't find any
drives.
remove_sd_entry: don't do it, even by force, if it's open.
If the size of a striped or RAID-5 plex is not an integral multiple of
the stripe size, trim the size until it is.
reinstate update_volume_config, which had atrophied, to recalculate
the size of a volume if a plex has shrunk due to stripe size
considerations.
vinumattach: Zero out tables after allocating them
Modify procedure at unload: if a vinum(8) has the superdev open, don't
close down. If only the daemon has it open, send the daemon a stop
request and wait for it to close the superdev, then unload.
In order to do this, create a second superdev which is opened by the
daemon. The open and close routines set a different bit in
vinum_conf.flags; otherwise the treatment is identical.
Remove opencount field in vol structure; replace by a flag bit, since
we can't count the number of opens.
Remove dead LKM grunge.
The much roumored replacement for our current IDE/ATA/ATAPI is
materialising in the CVS repositories around the globe.
So what does this bring us:
A new reengineered ATA/ATAPI subsystem, that tries to overcome
most of the deficiencies with the current drivers.
It supports PCI as well as ISA devices without all the hackery
in ide_pci.c to make PCI devices look like ISA counterparts.
It doesn't have the excessive wait problem on probe, in fact you
shouldn't notice any delay when your devices are getting probed.
Probing and attaching of devices are postponed until interrupts
are enabled (well almost, not finished yet for disks), making
things alot cleaner.
Improved performance, although DMA support is still WIP and not
in this pre alpha release, worldstone is faster with the new
driver compared to the old even with DMA.
So what does it take away:
There is NO support for old MFM/RLL/ESDI disks.
There is NO support for bad144, if your disk is bad, ditch it, it has
already outgrown its internal spare sectors, and is dying.
For you to try this out, you will have to modify your kernel config
file to use the "ata" controller instead of all wdc? entries.
example:
# for a PCI only system (most modern machines)
controller ata0
device atadisk0 # ATA disks
device atapicd0 # ATAPI CDROM's
device atapist0 # ATAPI tapes
#You should add the following on ISA systems:
controller ata1 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
controller ata2 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15
You can leave it all in there, the system knows how to manage.
For now this driver reuses the device entries from the old system
(that will probably change later), but remember that disks are
now numbered in the sequence they are found (like the SCSI system)
not as absolute positions as the old system.
Although I have tested this on all the systems I can get my hands on,
there might very well be gremlins in there, so use AT YOU OWN RISK!!
This is still WIP, so there are lots of rough edges and unfinished
things in there, and what I have in my lab might look very different
from whats in CVS at any given time. So please have all eventual
changes go through me, or chances are they just dissapears...
I would very much like to hear from you, both good and bad news
are very welcome.
Enjoy!!

tulip_addr_filter() on SIOCSIFFLAGS, and was nuking the IFF_ALLMULTI
on entering tulip_addr_filter(). As a result it was impossible to run
a multicast router on a machine with a "de" interface.
Added autodetection of MMAC Osprey 100 card for
Jan Schmidt <mmedia@rz.uni-greifswald.de>. The MMAC card has an EEPROM
which contains an ASCII string beginning with "MMAC".
Corrected Hauppauge Audio Mux Mute value from 0x01 to 0x04.
Fixed a typo.

Addtron appear to have their own VIA Rhine II and RealTek 8139 boards
with custom PCI vendor and device IDs. This commit updates the PCI
vendor and device lists in the vr and rl drivers so that we can probe
the additional devices.
Found by: nosing around the PCI vendor and device code list at:

This is for various Olicom cards. An IBM driver is following.
This patch also adds support to tcpdump to decode packets on tokenring.

Seems to solve a problem with a mouse not responding to movements in the
X direction. Problem description is still rather vague and solution is
not exactly clear. Problem might be a compiler optimisation.
driver was thinking irq was enabled although it wasn't.
This case was particular to a no-interrupt static configuration.

Now should be able to report speed for cards using NatSemi PHY.
(if you have one please let me know if it works as I
only have the Intel version)
