interrupts which now defers them until the transmit queue if filled
up with completed buffers. This has two advantages: first, it reduces
the number of transmitter interrupts to just 1/120th of the rate
that they occured previously, and two, running down many buffers
at once has much improved cache effects.
- ppbus now supports PLIP via the if_plip driver
- ieee1284 infrastructure added, including parallel-port PnP
- port microsequencer added, for scripting the sort of port I/O
that is common with parallel devices without endless calls up and down
through the driver structure.
- improved bus ownership behaviour among the ppbus-using drivers.
- improved I/O chipset feature detection
The vpo driver is now implemented using the microsequencer, leading to
some performance improvements as well as providing an extensive example
of its use.

saver and splash screen can all work properly with syscons. Note that
the splash screen option (SC_SPLASH_SCREEN) does not work yet, as it
requires additional code from msmith.
- Reorganized the splash screen code to match the latest development
in this area.
- Delay screen switch in `switch_scr()' until the screen saver is
stopped, if one is running,
- Start the screen saver immediately, if any, when the `saver' key is
pressed. (There will be another commit for `kbdcontrol' to support
this keyword in the keymap file.)
- Do not always stop the screen saver when mouse-related ioctls
are called. Stop it only if the mouse is moved or buttons are
clicked; don't stop it if any other mouse ioctls are called.
2. Added provision to write userland screen savers. (Contact me if you
are interested in writing one.)
- Added CONS_IDLE, CONS_SAVERMODE, and CONS_SAVERSTART ioctls to
support userland screen savers.
3. Some code clean-ups.
the screen mode is changed even if another vty has larger size.
Reallocate the buffer only when the new screen size is larger than
the current cut buffer size.
When bell is of "quiet" types, the console won't ring (or flush)
if the ringing process is in a background vty.

- Modify the escape sequence 'ESC[=%d;%dB' so that bell pitch and
duration are set in hertz and msecs by kbdcontrol(1).
There will be a corresponding kbdcontrol patch.

- probe for PHYs by checking the BMSR (phy status) register instead
of the vendor ID register.
- fix the autonegotiation routine so that it figures out the autonegotiated
modes correctly.
- add tweaks to support the Olicom OC-2326 now that I've actually had
a chance to test one
o Olicom appears to encode the ethernet address in the EEPROM
in 16-bit chunks in network byte order. If we detect an
Olicom card (based on the PCI vendor ID), byte-swap the station
address accordingly.
XXX The Linux driver does not do this. I find this odd since
the README from the Linux driver indicates that patches to
support the Olicom cards came from somebody at Olicom; you'd
think if anyone would get that right, it'd be them. Regardless,
I accepted the word of the disgnoatic program that came bundled
with the card as gospel and fixed the attach routine to make
the station address match what it says.
o The version of the 2326 card that I got for testing is a
strange beast: the card does not look like the picture on
the box in which it was packed. For one thing, the picture
shows what looks like an external NS 83840A PHY, but the
actual card doesn't have one. The card has a TNETE100APCM
chip, which appears to have not only the usual internal
tlan 10Mbps PHY at MII address 32, but also a 10/100 PHY
at MII address 0. Curiously, this PHY's vendor and device ID
registers always return 0x0000. I suspect that this is
a mutant version of the ThunderLAN chip with 100Mbps support.
This combination behaves a little strangely and required the
following changes:
- The internal PHY has to be enabled in tl_softreset().
- The internal PHY doesn't seem to come to life after
detecting the 100Mbps PHY unless it's reset twice.
- If you want to use 100Mbps modes, you have to isolate
the internal PHY.
- If you want to use 10Mbps modes, you have to un-isolate
the internal PHY.
The latter two changes are handled at the end of tl_init(): if
the PHY vendor ID is 0x0000 (which should not be possible if we
have a real external PHY), then tl_init() forces the internal
PHY's BMCR register to the proper values.

of some disk ioctls and uniformizes bounds checking in the strategy
routine. EOF handling got fixed as a side effect. The changes
are similar to old changes for SCSI disks, except slices and labels
are not searched for on the disk and the in-core label has a few
more details (mostly just for backwards compatibility). Bugs in
the in-core label had to be fixed to get dsopen() to accept it.
The slice interfaces had to support large sectors for all this to
work.
and DSO_NOLABELS flags prevent searching for slices and labels
respectively. Current drivers don't set these flags. When
DSO_NOLABELS is set, the in-core label for the whole disk is cloned
to create an in-core label for each slice. This gives the correct
result (a good in-core label for the compatibility slice) if
DSO_ONESLICE is set or only one slice is found, but usually gives
broken labels otherwise, so DSO_ONESLICE should be set if DSO_NOLABELS
is set.

Don't honor -static in LDFLAGS for linking LKMs. LDFLAGS is not
actually for ld, but we use it anyway, and must prevent -static being
misinterpreted as -s.
Don't hide any of the link steps.
- Call isa_dmadone() whenever necessary to stop DMA and/or free bounce
buffers. Undead DMA corrupted the malloc freelist fairly consistently
in the following configuration: SLICE kernel, 2 floppy drives, no disk
in fd0, disk in fd1.
- Don't call fdc_reset() from fd_timeout(). Doing so gave an "extra"
interrupt which was usually misinterpreted as being for completion
of the next FDC command; the interrupt for completion of the next
FDC command was then usually misinterpreted... There were further
complications for interrupts latched by the soft-spl mechanism so
that they were delivered after all the h/w interrupts went away.
This caused at least wrong head settle delays and may be why the
FreeBSD floppy driver seems to munch floppies more than most floppy
drivers. The reset was unnecessary anyway in cases that didn't have
the bug described next, since is was repeated a little later for
the IOTIMEDOUT state. The state machine has complications to handle
resets correctly, so just use it.
- Don't call retrier() from fd_timeout(). The IOTIMEDOUT state needs
to be processed next, and it isn't valid to set to that state if
retrier() has aborted the current transfer. Doing so caused null
pointer panics after the previous bug was fixed.
Improved error handling:
- If an i/o is aborted, arrange to reset in the state machine before
doing the next i/o. New fdc flag for this. This fixes spurious
warnings and lengthy busy-waiting for the next i/o.
- Split STARTRECAL into RESETCOMPLETE and STARTRECAL and only check
for the results from reset if we actually reset. This fixes spurious
warnings for other paths to STARTRECAL. [Oops, it may break reset
handling for motor-off resets.]
Cleanups in fd_timeout():
- Renamed to fd_iotimeout() to make it clearer that it is only used
for i/o.
- Don't handle the bp == 0 case. This case can't happen for i/o.
- Don't check for controller-busy. We know it must be.
- Don't print anything. retrier() already prints too much for normal
errors.
- Fudge the state differently so that the state machine advances
fdc->retry and the status is invalid (perhaps this should fudge a
valid state like the one for WP).
- Style fixes.
