i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.

* bus_setup_intr() as a wrapper for BUS_SETUP_INTR
* bus_teardown_intr() as a wrapper for BUS_TEARDOWN_INTR
* device_get_nameunit() which returns e.g. "foo0" for name "foo" and unit 0.
* device_set_desc_copy() malloc a copy of the description string.
* device_quiet(), device_is_quiet(), device_verbose() suppress probe message.
Add one method to the BUS interface, BUS_CHILD_DETACHED() which is called
after the child has been detached to allow the bus to clean up any memory
which it allocated on behalf of the child.
I also fixed a bug which corrupted the list of drivers in a devclass if
a driver was added to more than one devclass.
of the input file more strict and the error messages more elaborate.
Second, the output file has slightly improved looks when >80 character
lines are concerned (I needed a 80 character line formatter anyway for
work...)."
