1. Add new file "sys/kern/vfs_default.c" where default actions for
VOPs go. Implement proper defaults for ABORTOP, BWRITE, LEASE,
POLL, REVOKE and STRATEGY. Various stuff spread over the entire
tree belongs here.
2. Change VOP_BLKATOFF to a normal function in cd9660.
3. Kill VOP_BLKATOFF, VOP_TRUNCATE, VOP_VFREE, VOP_VALLOC. These
are private interface functions between UFS and the underlying
storage manager layer (FFS/LFS/MFS/EXT2FS). The functions now
live in struct ufsmount instead.
4. Remove a kludge of VOP_ functions in all filesystems, that did
nothing but obscure the simplicity and break the expandability.
If a filesystem doesn't implement VOP_FOO, it shouldn't have an
entry for it in its vnops table. The system will try to DTRT
if it is not implemented. There are still some cruft left, but
the bulk of it is done.
5. Fix another VCALL in vfs_cache.c (thanks Bruce!)
- We now have enough per-cpu idle context, the real idle loop has been
revived (cpu's halt now with nothing to do).
- Some preliminary support for running some operations outside the
global lock (eg: zeroing "free but not yet zeroed pages") is present
but appears to cause problems. Off by default.
- the smp_active sysctl now behaves differently. It's merely a 'true/false'
option. Setting smp_active to zero causes the AP's to halt in the idle
loop and stop scheduling processes.
- bootstrap is a lot safer. Instead of sharing a statically compiled in
stack a number of times (which has caused lots of problems) and then
abandoning it, we use the idle context to boot the AP's directly. This
should help >2 cpu support since the bootlock stuff was in doubt.
- print physical apic id in traps.. helps identify private pages getting
out of sync. (You don't want to know how much hair I tore out with this!)
More cleanup to follow, this is more of a checkpoint than a
'finished' thing.
2.3.0 -> 2.3.1 changes, but I seem to recall that there are certain
"issues" with 2.3.1 (I'm not sure if it's just pppd or the whole lot, I
am not quite that far). The present pppd seems to work with it just fine
for the time being.
Among the changes are that zlib (aka LZ77 aka deflate aka gzip) compression
is implemented as well as the original compress(1) LZW style.
reality. There will be a new call interface, but for now the file
pci_compat.c (which is to be deleted, after all drivers are converted)
provides an emulation of the old PCI bus driver functions. The only
change that might be visible to drivers is, that the type pcici_t
(which had been meant to be just a handle, whose exact definition
should not be relied on), has been converted into a pcicfgregs* .
The Tekram AMD SCSI driver bogusly relied on the definition of pcici_t
and has been converted to just call the PCI drivers functions to access
configuration space register, instead of inventing its own ...
This code is by no means complete, but assumed to be fully operational,
and brings the official code base more in line with my development code.
A new generic device descriptor data type has to be agreed on. The PCI
code will then use that data type to provide new functionality:
1) userconfig support
2) "wired" PCI devices
3) conflicts checking against ISA/EISA
4) maps will depend on the command register enable bits
5) PCI to Anything bridges can be defined as devices,
and are probed like any "standard" PCI device.
The following features are currently missing, but will be added back,
soon:
1) unknown device probe message
2) suppression of "mirrored" devices caused by ancient, broken chip-sets
This code relies on generic shared interrupt support just commited to

Thanks goes to Ulrike Nitzsche <ulrike@ifw-dresden.de> for giving me
a chance to test this. Only the PCI driver is tested though.
One final patch will follow in a separate commit. This is so that
everything up to here can be dragged into 2.2, if we decide so.

This driver is based on OpenBSD's driver. I modified it to run under FreeBSd
and made it actually work usefully.
Afterwards, nao@tom-yam.or.jp (HAMADA Naoki) added EISA support as well as
early support for 3C900 Etherlink XL PCI and 3C905 Fast Etherlink XL PCI.
He also split up the driver in a bus independant and bus dependant parts.
Especially the 3c59X support should be pretty stable now.

The only excuse this had for becoming misordered was that some drivers
were sorted on the driver name field, but the ffs versus mfs ordering
shows that this is not a consistent order.
The only case that I know of where simple sorting is wrong is for files
that must be compiled without profiling if profiling is configured and
normally otherwise. Then the line with `profiling-routine' must appear
first to get the file compiled with ${PROFILE_C}.

of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to
implement link-layer-specific MIB variables). A number of things
have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so
NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED. (A simple

This code applies to several systems with integrated Ethernet
chip, for example from HP or Compaq. It should also support
PCI Ethernet cards based on the AMD PCI Lance chip.
This code has been reviewed (visually) by Paul Richards and
tested (using an ISA Lance board) by Joerg Wunsch.
Since the parameters to nearly each and every single function
had to be changed (generally from unit number to lnc_soft*),
there is some potential for buglets having crept in ...
BEWARE: If you had lnc0 configured to have the ISA probe find
your PCI Lance, then it should now be found by the PCI probe,
and should be automatically configured as pci1 (!!! note the "1").
